Listers; As an option, you may want to encourage your associates to use ZIP files for e-mail attachments as an extra level of security. That way, if you have concerns about the cleanliness of a file, you can unzip, scan and open the attachment on an "off network" computer. Best regards, Bruce B.

I see nothing wrong with passing snippets of MB or VB source code through list mail, but if you do this, be aware that not everyone will see it. These two horsemen of the email apocalypse (Virus and Spam) sure are messing up a good thing! - Bill Thoen ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put "unsubscribe MAPINFO-L" in the message body, or contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put "unsubscribe MAPINFO-L" in the message body, or contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
