Hi everyone,

If it came through the list server (Gerry), then there was no attachment.
The gibberish that did make it through Gerry was from the infected machine
trying to force-feed the attachment through by lying to a server about what
it was. It's harmless text in it's scrambled-up format. 

If it came directly from an infected machine to you (bypassing the list
server), then it very well could have a dangerous attachment.

       Absoluty !  I have received a few similar messages over the past few 
days.  We had all better be careful.  What I don't understand is why these 
messages with imbedded attachments are being let through to gerry.  I
thought 
Tom had the server set to not allow any kind of attachments.  Tom, can you 
comment on this ?
