Right, right...
Would be difficult for me to be infected by Windows viruses, since the OS on my 
personal computer (the one I'm using right now to send this email) is based on 
a 2.4.19 linux kernel :-)
But it is also right i should have tar'ed my attachments since I know that 
Outlook and maybe Exchange often get rid of ".bat" attached files...

Sorry guys, update your antivirus software, it is too paranoid... ;-)
