And quite rightly so. Attachments can be dangerous, and since it is clear that many Luggers cannot read instructions (etiquette in particular) how can we trust what is attached? To see what I mean scroll to the end of this email and take a look. I have deliberately left the Legacy details in.

Ron, Do you ever view web pages with images? I bet you do, as well as almost everyone on this group. An image attached to an e-mail is no different, from a security perspective, than any other image on the web. This scare mongering about the dangers of image attachments is just plain wrong!
