I found a small bunch of stuff about email protection at the Norton "knowledge base." Most of it was a little of a shock.

I didn't make very good notes, but I think you can get into it at Symantec Knowledge base.

Just in case my clickie's bad: http://www.symantec.com/techsupp/knowledge_base.html

A couple that were a concern to me were titled:

"Cannot use Norton AntiVirus email protection with Internet service provider's email system"

And

"Cannot receive email when using Norton AntiVirus email protection if an @ character is in the user name"

They put a "document number" on them - but the printout doesn't show it.

Whether you're affected depends on what software you use and on how your email service is set up.

The surprise to me was just that my AV wasn't doing everything that I thought it was. Sort of a "my daddy ain't really nine feet tall" sorta thing.
