Better still to manage the mind and don't open attachments. We all know
each other on this list and we know the photo's go into the archives at
egroups. Nice photo of GNR 345 there, now. Dunno who put it there, but
it is a very sharp, well taken  photo.

The moderator of the day seems to be on top of the virus issue and
helping members off list; why don't we leave it that way. He is very
computer savvy.

Yes agreed.  But if you really don't want to get rid of
Outlook or Outlook Express just turn off VBS scripting in
Windows 95/98.

Go to Control Panel, Add Remove Programs, Windows Setup,
Double Click on Accessories, scroll down to Windows Scripting
Host and take off the check mark.  This will stop ILOVEYOU,
Melissa and related viruses from attacking you.
