Tom, I had exactly the same problem when I installed a new version of Norton AV onto my PC. I did the same as Lynne has explained and I can now access attachments. Even though I'm sure the NAV has scanned them, I still do a manual scan for viruses before I open any attachment.

If you are using Outlook Express, in order to be able to read digest messages correctly, go to Tools/Options/Security and untick/uncheck "Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus." If you continue to have problems reading digest messages, you should contact the list admin at .ENG-LANCS-YORKS-admin@rootsweb.com Best wishes, Lynne Tom Hawthornthwaite wrote: >Since I started using my new computer I have been unable to read any of your attachments as my Norton anti-virus software has removed access as it says the attachments are unsafe.

List: Please remember that you cannot receive viruses from Rootsweb mailing lists. Rootsweb doesn't accept any mail with attachments, therefore mail sent to them is ok. If you are subscribed to a mailing list in Digest Mode, then you will receive several posts which were sent to the list, as attachments, thus eliminating several individual emails. I'm sure everyone knows how it works, so won't elaborate further. If anyone has problems dealing with digests, they can unsubscribe from digest mode and subscribe in list mode. As a rule there aren't too many posts in a days time (on this list) as to clog your inbox or to increase your download time very much.
