[pmmail-list] virus kills pmmail

Just to add to the knowledge base, McAfee Online also killed PMMail on 
my WinXP-based computer, even though I don't save the attachments.  It 
apparently is parsing the Mime or UU-encoding to peek inside the 
email.  If I find PMMail dying, I turn off the McAfee Online scanner, 
retrieve the mail, delete it, then re-enable the scanner.

The McAfee VirusScan TC On-Access Scanner has no such problems on my 
Win2K office box.  Of course, I don't write the attachments out so I 
don't actually create a virus file.

Dying with the Online scanner happens so regularly that I think of it 
as a feature, not a bug.  :-(
