Thank-you list for the warning. I also received a message with an attachment from someone I had corresponded with concerning one of my direct lines and the subject line of this message contained what I had entered (Dudley family) the last time I sent a message to this person. The body of the e-mail message contained only the following --==BC0987654321DEF_== which made me suspicious, since I thought if the person wanted to send me an attachment they should tell me what it is. I clicked reply to inquire if this person had intended to send me a message with attachment and if so what was it. This message was undeliverable. I didn't know about this latest virus until I read the message that had been posted to the Milwaukee list. I then checked the properties and discovered - yes indeed this person's e-mail address now contains an _ in front of it. Thank-you Robert W.
