Dear Listers: As I told Heinz, I understood that he did not mean I had sent the message. As a matter of courtesy, whenever I send someone a message that has an attachment, the message is ALWAYS preceded by one stating that an attachment is on the way and stating the name of that attachment! Or the person receiving the message has requested a particular file and it will always be either a zip or a doc file. Should ANY of you receive an unsolicited message with an attachment, DO NOT open the attachment until you have confirmation from the sender that it is legitimate! Unfortunately, I post enough messages on enough newsgroups and correspond with enough people that somewhere someone has acquired a virus that has spoofed my e-mail address.(say that three times real fast) Unless you have requested something from me, or I have sent you a message saying that you are about to get an attachment do not open any that have my e-mail address on them.

This is from some sort of virus that infects unprotected computers. For the longest time I was getting emails with attachments that had a virus attached. It got to the point that I did not open any email that I did not recognize the sender, and then I got one from me! That sort of shocked me. Always run a virus check on any attacements, even if you do know the sender. There are viruses that can get into address books that automaticly send to every one in the book with the little virus attached!
