medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
May I suggest Shutterfly, an Adobe (free) application, for sending pictures. One clicks on a URL; no attachments or lengthy downloads are involved. It's easy to use. If interested, go to Shutterfly.com and enroll for the free stuff.

Good day, eh?
As the fellow who wrote the book said,
"Only the paranoid survive."
May I suggest that no one ever open an
attachment they do not already KNOW is
coming. Yes, I know that means you may
delete the 73 gifs of photos your cousin
took on his trip to Pittsburg. However,
the only way we shall learn that it has
become possible to infect a computer
with a .gif file is when one of us opens
one and zappp!!! he/she owns an infected
computer.
When sending an attachment, first let the
recipient know it is coming, what size it
is, its file type, and what the text of the
accompanying message will say.
Never try to send an attachment to a list.
If the list server does not filter it out,
we who are paranoid will wonder and wonder
and wonder. [Most lists forbid the sending
of attachments on list.]
There are literally hundreds of great folks
on this list, many of whom have gone out of
their way to help me. Sadly, there are some
really sad cases wandering around in cyberspace
who know how to get access to the addresses
on med-rel or virtually any other list they
want. They then share this info with other
sorry souls who are capable of doing serious
harm to your nice computer and mine. While
there are lots of very reliable anti-virus
programs and services, no one of them is
perfect. It is lamentable, but one of the
best defences against viri is paranoia. If
you didn't know that attachment was coming,
delete it. You can always ask the sender
what it was, saying that your anti-virus
device (i.e. your paranoia) deleted it. If
it is the cousin's gifs of Pittsburg, you
can then get them sent you a second time.
Regards to all,
Frank (still surviving, so still paranoid)
