    3. Hi Folks, Sorry for the interruption to Gen topics, but there is a security problem that has become apparent with Internet Explorer version 5.0 and a number of popular email programs that you should be aware of. It involves the possibility of someone being able to assume control of your computer by using simple HTML code on their webpages if you visit their website, or if they send you email messages with HTML code embedded it them (as some of you do). Please read the following and educate yourselves: http://www.zdnet.com/zdnn/stories/news/0,4586,2322425,00.html Please be aware: The DanvilleCrossing List or it's websites are NOT subject to this problem. Rootsweb does not process emails to the DC List with embedded HTML code, and I PERSONALLY code all DC Website pages (and the last thing I want is control of your computer.......have enough problems with my own.) BTW: Ira has the URL of a website that will do this to your computer. I wouldn't suggest you go there however. Just go to the site will do it. Dave
