Sorry to continue this chain, but if you read the original note, this virus warning has some truth. The issue isn't the message itself, but the attachment. You can open the message safely but many mail readers look at the file type of an attachment and try to do something with it automatically. In this case the attachment is a .COM file, so the mail reader executes it for you if you ask it to open the attachment. In all, nothing is new here. You can open any message safely, but never open any attachment unless you are confident of its source. Mike Michael A. Radtke - Z74 Voice: 602-862-4897 Bull FAX: 4853 13430 N. Black Canyon Hwy.
