[or-roots] CAUTION VIRUS ATTACK

For the past two days I have had the text of messages duplicated in "attachments".  Thought it was my
machine as I had just deleted my cookies - who knew?

It is not just this list.  It is every list I am on, plus ordinary e-mail.  Not all e-mail, however.  It
may be my e-mail program (Outlook) that I did mess up, because when I look at these same messages on the
internet server (i.e. the way I would get my mail when away from home), there are not any attachments that
duplicate the message. The messages with the pics of everyone have attachments of the pics. Also, there
was a Hinton message by Marsha Bradley-Luthy that had something like 64 attached gif files.  I didn't open
them, so don't know what they were.

Maybe Les has Outlook also?  Les, go to your e-mail on the server and see if it has attachments there as
well.

We will get to the bottom of this.

Yes, other than the recent pictures I've not seen anything with attachments 
come through on this list. Les, could you tell us what you're getting and 
name the suspected virus? When you write " . . . there being attachments to 
several of your submissions," to whom/what does the word "your" refer?
