Sorry to send this to the list, but I wasn't sure how to address this to the list administrator. My virus program notified me before opening a message from Mavis Clemmer that he/she has the badtrans. Fortunately, I did not open the attachment. The message has [MS-TIPPAH] in the subject to make you think that the message is coming via the Rootsweb list, but, of course, it isn't. You will notice that the message is TO: whatever your email address is and not TO: [email protected] which is how all mailist messages reach their subscribers. Plus, it has an attachment and attachments are blocked from ever being sent through rootsweb. Good luck and happy holidays! Fredreica
