If you are receiving what appears to be list messages but which are suspicious and contain attachments--they are NOT being sent by RootsWeb. Other than list digest messages (which are treated by some email clients such as Outlook Express on the receiving end as attachments) you should not be receiving ANY attachments from a RootsWeb list. Viruses and worms often FORGE/SPOOF an address they find on an infected computer and send themselves out to all other addresses they find on the infected computer--but they are not coming from or through RootsWeb. For additional information, see http://helpdesk.rootsweb.com/virus.html So let's end this discussion now. Thanks! Joan, co-admin
