IMO stuff like that belongs on a website so that people who're interested can see it and those who aren't don't have to deal with it. TH made a good point about server efficiency and unfortunately there are times when virii and the like propagate significantly before a fix is found. 8^( I have some Norton software but even so I automatically discard any attachments that aren't sent to me on a 1-to-1 basis. In this case the original poster did point out that there was an attachment to his post but if attachments are allowed sooner or later people will be less diligent and something nasty will slip through; I've seen it happen.
