The is an e-mail virus going around. The subject of the e-mail is
ILOVEYOU...I suggest you delete it the moment you receive it.
Somebody didn't read RFC2046, section 2, where it talks about text/plain
being *TEXT*, and application/* being *application data*.
So if your e-mail software is opening it and feeding it to Visual Basic
just because it's tagged .vbs even though it's a text/plain, you're
violating the RFCs.
I'm not pointing fingers, but.... ;)
You are missing the point here, this is user friendliness, the user is allowed
to do whatever he/she wants, even in others equipment with others data. ;)
It does make box managment so much easier ;)
