Re: It makes you wonder if the CIA is not the source of much of the e-mail virus activity.

That and the alternative of flooding our email with pornographic spam, which tends to make the email experience much more unpleasant. The Directorate of Operations guys could easily consider this a suitable "dirty trick" of social engineering to keep a certain percentage of people away from email services due to their sense of moral outrage at such a violation of their religious or other codes of ethics. If the email experience becomes X-rated, we can be sure that careful and concerned parents (among others) will suppress its use. A perfect (and perfectly devious) way to censor free speech on this medium.
