There should be a way to tell your e-mail client not to download any attachments above a certain size (say 15k). This will force all attachments to stay on the server until you specificially download them. If you recognize the attachment (a picture from a friend), then click the "retrieve attachment" button. But if the attachment is a ".scr" (or other unknown file), then you delete the e-mail without even downloading the attachment. I use Eudora as my e-mail client and it is very easy to do this, but I'm not sure how you would do it with Outlook. And, of course, Eudora is practically immune to any .vbs "virus-files" that are spread by Outlook and Outlook Express. --John
