Consensus opinion required - was 'more worms'

[Raul A. Gallegos]

Who cares.

Bottom line it's up to the end user to do what he or she needs to do so
their computer is safe.  If that means don't use windows to avoid
viruses or if it means get a good antivirus program then do what you
need to do.

I mainly use linux to read and write emails but for those times that i
use windows i have an antivirus.

Wht I feel about html vs text emails is beside the point.
