Warren, You were smart not to open those attachments. I checked Norton's Symantec virus search website, and sure enough it's the badtrans virus that's been going around. It propagates by sending itself out to every unanswered e-mail on someone's computer, so you'll think it's an answer to an e-mail you sent. you can find the write-up, and how to get rid of the virus if you get it at: http://search.symantec.com/custom/us/query.html Warren is right, list, be careful of opening any unexpected attachment. - Ray ----- Original Message ----- From: "Warren T.
