Hi,
	This reminds me of a warning that I should give everyone:  If your
mailer automatically downloads attachments (if your friend sends pictures,
those are attachments) make sure that they are sent to a different
directory than where your mailer is.
	I know of a bit of local internet color (The Mighty MacDaddy) who
got a virus with the same name as his mail program (in that case
eudora.exe), and when he next checked the mail, the torjan horse went off.

This is not the Dream.  This is what I do on weekends to have some fun.

The Dream involves 4 sets of identical twins, 2 gallons of Cool
Whip, 5 quarts of chocolate syrup, 2-1/4 pounds of strawberries,
satin sheets, a magnum of champagne, a trapeze, and a python.
