“People using MandrakeSoft’s version of Linux can continue to
open all their email messages without any risk to their computer.
The recently destructive Virus called “I love you” or “Love
Message” virus doesn’t affect versions of Linux-Mandrake nor any
other Linux operating systems.
“People using email agents under Linux-Mandrake, including
Netscape-mail, Kmail, Balsa, Emacs-mail, Pine, Elm, Mailx and Exmh
can open any infected email message without any risk to their
data.”
“Additionally people using their Linux-Mandrake system as a smtp
server (with Sendmail or Postfix) to the unlucky Windows(tm) users
can easily stop the spread of the Love virus.”
