Hi everyone, I just thought that I would add my 2 cents to the down load. I have often gotten the command from this and other lists, and have done the download a couple of times. Often, when someone living in another country sends a message to one of the lists. The download is offered even though the message is wrote in English as your server doesn't read the message, just offers the download free in case it is needed. AND, there is no hidden virus. But if you don't feel comfortable with it, that is OK too. Just don't worry about it infecting your computer.

When I have received this offer (also on email from Japan) I just click "Cancel" and read the message as usual. Verdena ----- Original Message ----- From: "LeRena B.
