Just a note to everyone.
Ricks e-mail has a "virus" in the attachment. "DO NOT OPEN"

My system stopped it before I opened it. Don't know exactly what it is.

Received it from the Rebel BBS.

May everyone have a great holiday and a safe one.

Steve,

Whose virus software are you using? I scanned the file with the latest
version of Nortons before I opened it and it told me no viruses were
found.

G'day Steve !

Just to let you know ... we have Command Anti Virus (a daily updated virus system from the parent company in the US) ... and it scans ALL our files regularly ,... and hasn't shown a virus at this end (and we've had "that" christmas file for over 2 years ?!?)

Merry Chrissy Guys !

I believe the "problem" with this attachment was the .EXE extension... most
anti-virus programs will quarantine any e-mail attachment that is an
executable. It wasn't so long ago that a popular "virus" was sending a hack
of format.exe renamed to something else that formatted your hard drive when
you ran it. Most anti-virus software will allow you to override this from
trusted sources. But I agree, better safe than sorry.

On a related issue... a version of this list software is now in beta testing
that will strip all attachments, we are also looking at stripping HTML
source. Both of these features are very nice in personal e-mail, but I feel
with the associated file libraries, this list would run smoother with the
message base in plain, clean, text format.

As alway, if you have ideas or request for improving the site... send me a
note.

Mike
