I would think attachments would be a good idea. Virus's are always a threat, but I'm sure most of us run anti-virus software and it sounds like you have it handled well at your end.

Every email is virus/spam checked before it hits the mailing list. In the three+ years of Phono-L, it has never forwarded a virus (knock on wood). Nothing is 100% safe on the web, but my staff of crack programmers here at Phono-L HQ have a pretty good track record ;) Loran _______________________________________________ Phono-L mailing list [email protected] Phono-L Archive http://phono-l.oldcrank.org/archive/ Support Phono-L http://www.cafepress.com/oldcrank -- No virus found in this incoming message.
