Thanks Glenn, I didn't open it as you suggested and deleted the thing and
all is fine. I think Dan Hall will know from the message I sent to the list,
at least I would think so, at least someone at Equis should be moving like
their pants were on fire as they heard this.
I wonder why McAfee didn't "catch" the virus in the e-mail folder even if I
didn't open it. I'm not to happy if it doesn't alert me when I download
e-mail with viruses even though I have the e-mail attachment thing turned
on.
Best, John
