<< >I understand everyones concern over virus's, but it has always been my
understasnding that a virus can only be bassed on through an executable
file, such as one that ends in "exe" or "com". Additionally the file the
virus is attached to must be "run" for the virus to execute. I think we
have been through this before on the list, not to say we should be prudent
but I don't believe that a virus can be passed on in the this way. Any
thoughts? Of course I will delete said message just in case......

This may be my ignorance, but what if the message has an attachment that is
downloaded or the mail is downloaded in a mail file onto your hard drive??
