I don't agree, and merely wanted to point out that other mail systems
have the same problem. There is anti-virus software for Notes, too.
But a sane mail system does not *spread* viruses.
To say that IMS is "designed to be a trojan horse" just seems a little
off-the-mark to me.
I think the reason Verson's calling it a trojan horse is that it's a program
you install and that then starts spreading viruses. Typically, a trojan
horse is one that spreads its *own* virus; but, from the user's point of
view, that's not a vital difference. (On the other hand, by this viewpoint,
any OS for which viruses exist is a trojan horse.)
