very very easily - it's done all the time. "E-mail sent from someone pretending to be someone else is known as spoofing. " http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-mail_fraud It is wise not to execute any program sent in email's unless you are absolutely sure you know it was being sent by someone you trusted. Even if someone I knew having met them in the flesh - and trusted - I would scan such files with Internet security software first. Malcolm nb vigilant -- Malcolm I appreciate your caution but, please explain how someone leaves behind my "footprint" & not their own when sending an e-mail?
