Before users really panic about this "thing" .. I think you should know that it only selects people using both MS Word 97 and 2000 and Outlook 97/98 .. NOT Outlook Express. For some reason it doesn't like the Express version (which I thankfully use). I almost NEVER open attachments unless someone emails me earlier telling me they have a gedcom to share .. those I open up in my genealogy program anyway.. I also delete any email that starts off with lines and lines of email addresses/html/and other junk preceding the actual message. I think it's only polite to clean up something before forwarding it.. I for one don't need to see the names of the hundred people who received it before me. Mary ~~~~~~~~~~~ genmail@micronet.net
