An incredibly minimal risk if they come from a trusted source. If you don't trust me, that's just fine, but I do encourage people to feel perfectly free to open attachments from individuals they know, even as cyber acquaintances, and more particularly so if their antivirus does what 99+% of them do these days, scan it before opening. It really doesn't help to encourage too much caution any more than it does to encourage none. There is a happy medium. Brian
