[or-roots] CAUTION VIRUS ATTACK er WOOOLF

[Leslie Chapman]

Okay, I definitely cried wolf, Norton just responded that they had analyzed
the file and it was harmless. They did not however say what it was, it
sounds like some kind of bug in outlook because yes I have outlook.
Interesting though what Pat and Ray suggest about software stripping
graphics. It may be something of that nature and something associated with
the process is why my computer went hooey when I opened the gifs, as part of
my problem with my computer is an active X graphics problem.

Obviously I can be accused of over-reacting, but having all those weird
attachments that had a systematic appearance really set me off. I still
stand by my "don't open unknown attachments advice" though.

Sorry if this has upset anybody.

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.
