Joe's message did not yield a virus warning on my computer. I have Norton Anti-Virus 2000 and my virus definitions are up to date. Further, Joe has an Apple computer as far as I know, and Apples can never infect PC's. But, Jim, your virus checker may have triggered a false alarm because of the HTML stuff in that message. Or maybe you use an Apple too,
