Delete this email and then delete any other area that it may be saved on your computer. It wouldn't hurt if you ran a virus scan just in case. This is more than likely a virus that has been going around. I have seen this virus mentioned on other rootsweb lists that I am on in different states. No, it is not coming through Rootsweb as you can't send attachments to their lists. It will appear to be from a Rootsweb list, but it really isn't. I don't quite understand how this virus is going through our genealogy lists, but it is. I guess if this attachment is downloaded it gets into your unread mail then spreads to others without your knowledge. It's a rather nasty little burger. Some have thought it to be an answer to a query and have downloaded the attachment to find it to be the virus. Anyway, it is better to be safe than sorry and what your saying looks like what I've seen on the other lists. Paula/Oregon

thanks Becca that is exactly what I did--just as fast as I could. I knew something was wrong cause no one else mentioned getting my message with an attachment On the bottome of the email cunningham sent it plainly says Take a look to the attachment.

Don't open it what ever you do! The person listed as sending it, isn't really sending it. Delete it, then delete your delete box - it's most likely a virus.

why are you telling me to look at an attachment

Oh wow...now I understand. That was an excellent explanation. Thank you Sharon.

I absolutely love the answers for this topic. You folks have been excellent with explanations over the expression "Shirt-tail Cousins" along with the other definitions such as "button-hole kin" or even "Luther Cousins". I truly, never knew there was as many names for the relationship as there were confusing relationships. *hehehe* [Did that make sense? :o) ] Isn't this the neatest topic? I grew up with "Cousin once removed" or "twice" or was it such and such!?? I never understood the removal part except that they applied to the married folks that married direct family blood lines. I also couldn't figure out the twice removed anything either when that was mentioned, unless you wanted me to remove it from the cupboard. Now, that removal, I understood fully! *hehehe* Plus, removing ones head from the rear - end portion of one's anatomy was the other removal I understood fully too. *hehehehe* Shelia Bachelder ----- Original Message ----- From: <ENC6@aol.com> To: <OKGEN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, April 24, 2001 7:47 PM Subject: Re: [OKGEN ] BIBB > In a message dated 4/24/2001 11:31:59 AM Central Daylight Time, > webachel@wolf.co.net writes: > > > > That's an interesting expression ...
