You didn't attach it. If you had, I'm pretty sure Exim (running an ACL
plugged into ClamAV) would have caught it before it got to my Inbox. Clam
detects Eicar just fine. :>

a "Panda GateDefender", sounds Windowsish.




What you did was include it inline in a text/plain MIME part in your message,
where it isn't likely that it could do any harm even if it *was* a real
virus.
