Hello Marck D Pearlstone,
On Sun, 9 Sep 2001 at 11:06:01 GMT +0100 (which was 9/9/2001
5:06 PM where you think I live) you told to the list :

Yes I do.
> Is that the missing link?
On my PC at home, I have Pegasus, Eudora, Outlook and many others, but
they can running well (without making explorer.exe take 34% CPU
resources).

No, not yet, I juts found last night.
I will write message to them, thanks to remind me.

Kapersky AV seems having more sensible engine, even I set attachment
on message bodies, it can detect it and report (note: only report, no
take any action, this is mentioned on help). If I put attachment on
separate directory, he will desinfect or take other action just after
the message save to message database.
