I do not understand any of the technicalities of this IT stuff but
Jackie's own message appears on my email reader (Turnpike) only as an
attachment. It is identified as an html attachment but that is all.
I think that a reasonable virus scanning program would detect viruses
and the like in emails and in their attachments.
My program (Norton AntiVirus) did not object to Jackie's email and I
opened. I do not appear to have suffered. (Yet?!)
