Well, I'm still getting a handful of copies of swen everyday - followed by 
a warning from the lame ISP's broken virus scanner telling me that the 
previous message contained SWEN and that I shouldn't open it.

I don't know why the ISP feels they need to have their virus scanner tell 
me these sorts of things when it could have just silently deleted the 
message (which is the ONLY correct behavior, IMHO!) instead of sending 
~20k of junk, including the virus(!) my way.
