It is now possible to get a virus just by reading a plain-text e-mail message. This is a property of the KAK Worm virus. What you also have to watch out for are messages that include an executable file attachment. In order to activate a virus or a Trojan horse program, your computer has to execute some type of code. This could be a program attached to an e-mail, a word document that you download from the internet, or something received on a floppy disk.

E-mail messages are in the simple text format. Hence it is impossible to get a virus into your system by simply reading your e-mail. Viruses are usually transmitted as attachments to e-mail.

We format the digest strictly and deliberately as plain text, because we want the digest to be readable everywhere on any system. Only plain text does that.
