Hallo Peter,

On Sun, 1 Dec 2002 23:03:06 +1100GMT (1-12-02, 13:03 +0100GMT, where I
live), you wrote:

Did you already download it on your pc, or is it the act of
downloading the e-mail that triggers the AV-program?

In case it's the downloading, than use the mail dispatcher to select
and delete the bad mail on the server:
 Account -> Dispatch mail on server -> All messages

When it's already in your inbox and it's the viewing of the mail that
causes problems:
 Disable your AV program
 Start TB
 Delete the infected mail (TB won't start the virus, unless you
 specifically tell it to open the the attachment)
 Compress your inbox (Folder -> Copmpress)
 Start your AV program

This second path can be used in case the mail isn't downloaded yet,
but the dispatcher is the safer way.

BTW Both of your messages I read just now were replies to other
messages. That's not the best way on this list and this is the reason:

The Bat is able to thread messages properly, in order to see what I
mean, just select the folder where you're storing the messages from
this list. Go to the menu: view - view threads by - references. Now
you'll see that all messages are lined up after the message to which
they're first, second (or whatever) level replies to.

You started what's essentially a new thread by replying to another
message. That means it shows up as listed in another thread. Since
people sometimes skip messages in threads they don't consider
interesting (for lack of time). They might skip your message too,
since they're not aware of the newly started thread. So next time
you'd do yourself a favor by sending a new message in stead of a
reply, because you're reaching a larger audience and one of those
might have the answer you've been waiting for.
