While this is true, I have yet to see any e-mail malware attachments 
that can run in a Linux environment.  They all seem to be aimed at 
Windows. 

Have I just been lucky?  Have you seen any Linux malware?  While it 
*could* exist, *I* have never seen any, though I've only been using 
Linux since Sarge was Debian Testing,,,
