Dave: Your e-mail to The List came through with an attachment which, I
believe, should not happen. It appears that I could open that attachment,
which I have NOT done.
Did you send an attachment with your e-mail? You don't say so in your
message.
Is it possible that a third party has 'hijacked' your address book and sent a
destructive attachment through The List?
