Hopefully, we can avoid these bugs by being extra vigilant when it comes to attachments and large unexpected downloads. Like you, I try to avoid Microsoft. I use Pegasus e-mail, (thankyou David Harris for a well behaved and very stable program) and I use the Norwegian program Opera as my browser. Incidently, Opera version 4 beta 4 is now available to download online at: http://www.operasoftware.com Opera just keeps getting better and better. I never use Netscape at all anymore and I have removed Internet Explorer. Getting back to bugs and e-mail.... If you should happen to delete a download and it turns out your daughter sent you a file containing jpeg pictures of your new granddaughter, don't sweat it... She'll resend it.... Mine did... And next time she'll send me a *headsup* e-mail first so I know what to expect.
