case that Michelle is serving up malware or anything like that; it's
simply a "rule" of mine that I never open attachments, period.

Michelle's message was not sent as an attachment. I read it without
opening anything.
It did include a pgp-signature which probably caused your email
program indigestion. Microsoft Outlook Express is crap. I'd suggest
switching to a competent program like Thunderbird.
Hmm, interesting. I think I know why the difference though: I just
remembered I read as Plain Text so that would explain the empty bodies in
those posts. Apparently the bodies are also html instead of the expected
Plain Text.
I read in Plain Text for the same reasons. Most newsgroups require Plain
Text so to see anything html I have to hit the alt-shift-h keys to switch
modes.
Thanks - in the future I'll try the key combo at least on this group
(gmane.org) if I want to see what's there. This group is a little safer
than other just usenet groups so I'll check that out.
Regards,

Newsgroups are great places to get assistance.
But always verify important information with
other sources to be certain you have a clear
understanding of it and that it is accurate.
