Correct. Today I received a message from a stranger about the benefits
of walking, with attachment nsay.pif which I suspected was a virus. I
could not know for sure, however, until I tried to Save it. NAV kicked
in and accused it of containing the W32.magistr.39921@mm virus. It
wouldn't have been problem to me even without a virus scanner, since I
never open unsolicited attachments. I forwarded it to
spamdesk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx in case it might help them.

Not a big surprise, since this method only works against HTML viruses,
which are much rarer in mail anyway than attachment viruses. Easy
protection against small danger.
