The mailer has nothing to do with it, it comes from users stupidity.
I can't remember how many times I've told this guy not to open
attachements from unknown peoples or with a .pif .exe whatsoever...
I even asked him why he opens english mails as he don't speak a word of
english...
Of course it's one of the worst, but it shows that there are plenty
people on many lists that open those kind of things.
I've got plenty of those AV warnings through other lists.
