[List of common extensions and explanation]
I played with Outleak Express once or twice and it does - by default -
*not* show the true extension of a file. If I send you a message
with `foo.jpg' as attachment, OE will display it with an icon
appropriate for images and the name `foo' (without extension).
This particular message contains a file named `TIAZINHA.JPG.pif'.
The displayed name will have the `.pif' stripped and have a
different icon.
OT: A stupid way to scare the bejeezus out of OE users is tacking
the following lines on your message (I put it in a box to disarm it):
/-------------------------------------\
| begin present.txt.vbs |
| Hi, I'm a signature virus. Copy me! |
| end |
\-------------------------------------/
Fortunately, this one is pretty harmless.
