Earl,
Did you receive the kernish email that came through in RT? I am beginning
to think that some ISP are screening out emails with virus's? As stated my
setting are set like yours "most secure" (you walked me through it) and yet
I still had it happen again yesterday. Like I said this virus does not
require you open any attachment, it self executes when you page to the email
on the list.
Let me know on kernish, I recall on the last batch that went through on the
list that you did not receive the infected email even though it showed in
the Archive.
