Virus warning

[Gero Kuhlmann <gero@gkminix.han.de>]

Hello,

yesterday majordomo at baghira rejected an article with a binary
attachment. It contains a Word-for-Windows document with an executable
binary included in it. This mail has been rejected because itīs size
is more than 20000 characters. Even though a virus scanner did not
detect anything within this file, Iīve included the header of this
mail to warn you about a possible virus thread. I havenīt examined
the binary any further, though. Maybe itīs not doing any harm. However,
when I receive a Word document with a Windows binary included, I usually
get suspicious.
If you ever want to send binary files to the netboot mailing list
please send them to me first (gero@gkminix.han.de) so that I can
approve them.

gero.
