Hi All We are all having heaps of trouble, aren't we?! Bugbear is using very recent messages now and together with the Spam messages (precisely 25 of those this morning) which hit us every weekend, life on the net is getting to be a pain. I used Norton for some time until this machine decided it was not compatible, so I know what their virus messages are like. The first one frightened the dickens out of me with all that clanging and flashing stuff! Grisoft lets the virus come in, but woe betide you if you try to open a "baddie"! The REASON for this mail -- I tried to explain during the week, but I'm hopeless at that explaining business. For the many of you (Outlook Express) who did not know what I was on about - that screen is called the Preview Pane and the piece I was trying to describe "in the middle" is called the Preview Pane Header. It is on this that you will see the Paper Clip Icon on the right hand side and SO FAR - although the pest can hide the fact there is an attachment by not allowing it to show in the "top bit" (now what the heck is THAT called?) - it still shows on that P/P Header. If you don't have that showing and would feel even safer being able to see this - go to VIEW, LAYOUT, and select SHOW PREVIEW PANE HEADER. List Owners - I beg your indulgence. Our newbies may be grateful. Bev
