RE: [ST] An easier way to search the digests?

["James Goldston" <jgoldston@xxxxxxxx>]

When I sent the Year 2000 digest to Roger Richards his anti-virus checker
detected a virus in two of the files: v2000.n135 & v2000.n143.  It was
because of this that I noticed my real-time AV checker wasn't turned on.
Not good for a security guy.

To make a long story short, could we have a few people who have faith in
their real-time AV checkers try to download the v2000.n135 & v2000.n143
files to their hard drive and see if their AV checker lights up?  If they
do, then we should ask triumphnet to remove the code from those two files.
The two files are not all bad, but there is a buried script in the files
(look for the word "REGEDI").

OR, triumphnet could simply delete the offending script from the files (if
this really is what is causing the prob).  I don't see any purpose for that
code being in a mail digest.
