        I have heard of anti-virus software - Norton, etc. - corrupting
subject lines. Some kind of timing, buffering problem maybe?

        I can't really see the point of running anti-virus checks on
incoming and outgoing e-mail. The virus database may be updated between
receipt of an e-mail and the opening of it, hence being more current.
As for outgoing e-mail, if your system is clean, you would not be
sending a virus - except in the case of forwarding an attachment without
examining it first.

        Note that my e-mail client, Turnpike, holds e-mail in an
encrypted database, so there is no point in running anti-virus against
it in its entirety. Only when I read an e-mail and open an attachment is
the checking invoked.
