'cause the work files I get are big, and they're all much bigger than the GIFs. Everybody's very sweet, but I'm OK about this. I just wanted to know why they are sending them...

The latest development in my spam situation is attached GIFs. I'm filtering them all into a separate place and I delete them at once, but it's a pain because it makes the deletion a several-step process instead of one click. Can someone tell me what the purpose of these is? Are there viruses attached? Is it a way of luring you to open the message and verify a live address? Suddenly this is my main form of spam, and they all take exactly the same form.

Why don't you limit the size of your downloads to 20k or 30k & then most will be left on the server that you can delete later if you like? Sure you'll have to tell Eudora to download the good stuff but there is no cleanup to worry about this way.
