E-mail is e-mail. Everyone gets it. Of course on the Win side you can
get infected, so that's a difference.

If your ISP has server side virus filters, you will see less than those
that are running wide open.

I suspect it also depends on how widely known your e-mail address is.
This increased the probability that a box that gets infected will have
your address somewhere.

I doubt it. Neither Peter nor I have bootable Win partitions and we get
plenty of this stuff.
