Better yet, use a non MS email program. I use Eudora because i can find and manipulate all its files by using 'winfile' and it's not in 'windows', so, is never affected by a delete /reload. ..and it doesn't open attacments till i say so, nor pass anything around to people in the address book. ...not that it's perfect...
