Not a bad idea......although I will add this- if someone you know doesn;t
scan their attachment before opening it adn you email address is in their
addressbook it can be sent to you, so even if it -is- someone you know you
should be careful.......not trying to step on your toes, luckily I read my
email through Pine on a friend's linux server. I hate windows mail
readers, or any web based mail...call me ancient..... :)
