Does this spamming technique affect only people using Outlook, or do people
using AOL also have to worry about opening email? Is the Alpine list
affected at all?

what remained. I'm certain I've deleted a couple from list members but by and
large I read enough from the group to be familiar with most of your e-mail
"handles". With this and the usual assortment of anti-virus, etc software I
haven't yet been infected with anything. I probably still receive the odd one

opens it them)keeps me a little safer and up and running longer. >>
