Yeah, funny how often that seems to be the case.  Of course, if people
start filtering based on that, spammers' countermeasure would seem
pretty obvious.  (I get a kick out of the people who think they can 
mark messages as certifiably spam- or virus-free in various ways; see
.signature block.)

This message falsely claims to have been scanned for viruses with F-Secure
Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange and to have been found clean.
