There have been several incidents of mailing list members' machines being
infected with email viruses, recently. Since these viruses mail out copies
of themselves in the name of people on this list, Majordomo lets them right
through. Please:
(1) Don't open email attachments, even innocent-looking ones, unless you
know exactly what they are in advance.
(2) Please don't send any executable attachments via this mailing list,
even innocent ones. If you wish to share such a thing with us, please post
it at a web site and give us the URL and an explanation of what it is.
(3) Consider running some good anti-virus software (McAfee, Norton, etc.).

Hey ALL,
If I get an e-mail attachment from you and it looks suspicious I will tell
you about it before I open it. Take Mike Johnson's Advice and use the McAfee
or Norton or what ever turns you on and use it. You can even use on online
if you don't want to purchase one, just go to McAfee or Norton .com and work
your way around it.
Reformatting and wiping out your hard drive is a little extreme if you don't
know exactly what you are doing and it takes a lot of time to do that and
this way you don't have to reboot it from scratch
Iron Mike
