I fail to see how this could protect against getting viruses. I
understand you cannot get a virus from opening a plain text message such
as we receive through Juno, and we cannot avoid opening any Juno messages
anyway, since opening them is required to delete them (unless handled
only by the J5 Mail Assistants).
If we do not open attachments, which can and do contain viruses, or if we
save attachments to the desktop and scan them with an up-to-date
antivirus program before opening, my understanding is we are safe. Is
this not correct?

The messages come to you in "first in, first out" order. Meaning the
first message "in" to your mailbox is the first message sent "out" to you
by Juno's servers. So you need to get a message into the queue just as
soon as possible after retrieving your mail in order to beat other
messages possibly containing viruses. I suggest you actually setup your
outgoing "blank" message BEFORE you retrieve your mail and send it in the
same mail run as you when you retrieve your messages. That should pretty
much ensure it being first in line during the next mail run.
