Hello Clarke / Clark Cousins, I am sending this to the list _not_ to start a topic of conversation, but to inform, as yesterday I received 2 messages that a virus is going around called the BadTrans virus. I know this is old news, but two listmembers have received attachments - today. In both cases it arrived looking as if it was from a listmember with a reply to a previous post. They did not come through our list at RootsWeb. It favors MS Outlook Express and unopened mail in your mailbox. You do not need to open it to send it on to others. You do not even need anyone in your address book. I have switched to using EUDORA email program and, reading my email first on my ISP Internet Mail Webpage first before downloading to my computer. If you have anti-virus protection the "dat" files must be current. These files are ususally downloaded from either McAfee or Norton, depending on which program you use. The best explination I've seen yet... go to http://listsearches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl?list=EUDORA-MAIL enter BadTrans 15 matches come up - the best is titled..
