Katherynne,

I apologize if I offended you.  Believe me, I would never want to do
anything, or say anything that would do that.

The contaminated message I received was a message from "ask the dietitian",
but NOT from your server.  It was from an infected computer subscribed to
your list.  I do not know "who" it was from exactly because I deleted it
immediately upon having problems when I opened the attachment.  I should
have realized that you would never send out an attachment!

My computer sent out infected messages before I realized what had happened.
I sent the same message to everyone on my "contact list".

Right now, I think I'll go crawl under a rock somewhere....

Dear David,
I personally scan and approve all messages to "Dietitian," and have
updated virus protection on my computer. My computer is virus-free.
However, I checked with the "Dietitian" webmaster to be doubly sure that
the list is not infected.

I fear you are the victim of a hoax. Following is the response from the
webmaster:

"Mr. Meigs did not get his virus from the 'Dietitian' website.  I
scanned all
questions and did not find any viruses.  Thank you for contacting me
immediately when you suspected a virus may be present.  That will help
us
resolve it if it does become a problem.  However, be confident that you
have
a higher level of technical knowledge than those on your list."

Best regards,
Kathrynne
