    1. [ARSHARP] DON'T OPEN ATTACHMENTS FROM ME!
    2. Lee & Vicky Seibel
    3. Everyone: I am sorry, I who had a virus which spread before my virus scanner caught it -- I got it from a "distant cousin". Like everyone else I am also sick of these things, but the one I received didn't act like what everyone said the virus did. The subject line was the surnames we were researching & we had been working on a book together so I didn't think anything of receiving attachments from her. NOW, I know better & we will exchange things differently. I have only had 3 hours of sleep trying to clear this up, so please excuse me for the problem it has caused. Even though all administrators claim you can't get the virus through attachments through the lists, everyone's e-mail address shows up when messages are sent, then the virus gets the addresses from any e-mail you received/sent and it is spread to them. So even though no attachments can be sent, you can get the virus by keeping the e-mails and addresses in any of your boxes. Again, I apologize -- Vicky
