Right on, Barb! The only way email can provide a virus is via an
attachment which turns out to be a program which the receiver in
turn executes. There apparently are some word processing virus'
but again one must execute the attachment to enable the virus.
Opening E-Mail will NOT give you a virus...........unless you are
like me and receive the whole list of messages that the folks
send to alert you of the virus.
This is more like Spamming the net since the helpful person (and that
includes most of us.....note I didn't necessarily include myself) is
trying to alert others of a potential problem. Those who start this
type of Spam are sitting back chuckling about how many messages will
be sent by unsuspecting persons trying to go good.........
Best wishes.........Jack
