I was reading the other day, that only those who are using Outlook Express, or MS Outlook as their mailers, are being hit. I use Eudora 4.3.1 and did not receive those attachments, even though I real all 4 of Helen's posts. Also, there is the possibility that your ISP has put something on their network to stop it. For all of our sakes, I hope its the latter. I'm just guessing, I know there are people out there with more knowledge about computer inner workings than I have. So I trust you'll tell all of us.
