    Part of me is satisfied by the destruction this idea has caused so
    many people with little common sense. Every single spam mail that
    escapes SpamAssassin surprises me with new ideas to take advantage of
    the intellectually challenged.

    At my previous workplace, after the second trojan invasion caused by
    mindless drones in the sales or accounting departments opening "Anna
    Kournikova Naked Pics" attachments without checking the sender or file
    type first, I suggested to our sysadmin that he send out an email that
    would say "This is a virus, do not open the attachment under any
    circumstances" and attach a simple VB script that would send an e-mail
    to him. I instructed him to fire those who opened the attachment in
    the name of intellectual Darwinism. He never did it, unfortunately.

    I can't say any of those have landed in my inbox, though ;-) Straight
    to ~/mail/spam with no stops in between.
