This is why I NEVER open an attachment on a mailing list....... if you send
e-mail to any list and make an attachment (like quoting back someone's
earlier mail) ... don't expect to much response (other than instant
delete).... if you open an attachment without virus scanning it first....
you are exposing yourself to life's new E-realities...This is also one of
the reason (other than instant cross platform & all browser/ mailreader
compatibility) it's best to use ASCII only (some other reasons are, small,
simple, and paste-able into any other program used on the many different
platforms out there). Sure it doesn't have all the fancy formatting and we
aren't dazzled buy your use of exotic type styles, background colours,
watermarks, SIGs, Java wiggles, and general show-offs.... but then... we
don't have to trace down & remove any macro virus's either.... which should
be enough of a lesson for those who do just put anything in their systems
without checking first.
