Hello all,

I debian or other 'nix suceptible in any way to anything anybody can put
in an email? I'm guessing that if someone comes up with something that
can break e.g. mutt that mutt will be fixed around the same time as a
virus scanner would be updated.

Just thinking out loud: Maybe some image attack via a web beacon? Not
necesarily for mutt, though.
