[QUOTE="Alexis, post: 429870, member: 16911"] Is it though? Yes, if you forward on an email with an attachment, but it would be your fault for passing it on and his fault if he opens it. It's not possible for an email to arrive on your Mac with a virus and have itself pass it on without your knowledge. You'd need a virus in the first place to pass on another virus, and there's no way for OS X to succumb to that. That's how most PC viruses spread their way through email, not through the user manually sending it on. [/QUOTE]
