I'm in no danger of infection, but I'm really getting tired of downloading big
virus files over my slow phone link.  I would like to second the motion for a
filter to strip out large attachments.

The virus files apparently have a minimum size of something around 190,000
bytes, so a filter of everything above (say) 180,000 bytes should suffice... at
least until the next virus springs up.  That would let people continue to send
in patches of modest size.

Possibly he's having trouble with his e-mail.


Nice to see that so many Windows users like Freeciv, though.
