This reply is potentially of interest to me but ... why do some people
still put info to this list (& others) using file attachments when everyone
knows that opening file attachments is a very good way of being infected by
a virus? Pity - it's gone straight to the bin without being read.
Rgds,

Thats strange Ken - the message had no attachment when it reached me! As it
was quite an interesting reply, I have copied it below for you.
With regard to viruses, I have Norton Internet security and do the live
update (which includes amongst other things the latest virus strings) FIRST
thing EVERY time I log in to the internet or to download emails. I have
never yet got a virus infection. But, fingers crossed.
