What I've found is that no attachment is ever opened by me for any reason, unless I am expecting it...even when my kin send pix of the kiddies...I email them back and verify they sent it. Twice had some come by way of my brother-in-law and he never knew it. I also always send a polite note to anyone who sends these, because chances are really high that they are the victims, not the perpetrators....unless you don't know who it is, and it doesn't look like it came from another listmember or poster.
