The old chestnut comes around again!!
While I agree that a simple e-mail message cannot contain a virus,
there are messages that can. For example Michael Reddell's messages
always come to me in two parts. The first is an e-mail message, then
part two is a binary file that my machine can't read. Not suggesting
that there is anything nasty included, but there could be!!
My suggestion. Add Norton Anti-Virus, this program has an auto
protect feature which examines everything being downloaded to your
hard drive, then warms if something is wrong.
