Oh, Macs get the mail. It's just that the viruses are totally ineffective
at infecting the Macs.

The viruses (etc.) depend on holes in the Windows operating systems;
these holes simply don't exist on MacOS/X. So we can receive the mail
with no ill effects.

Same thing happens when I receive the mail on my Solaris systems.
Or on VMS. Or MVS. Or any "real" operating system.
