Sharon, it may be on your isp's machine, to duplicate the header completely, though, unless your isp is stupid enough to be running m$ security hole central serverware, it shouldn't be vulnerable. I know that with the email's I have received from you there has never been any virus problems....netscape 7 doesn't seem to like html mail but that is a bug in the browser not a virus. ~g~ My isp (Shaw Cable) is stupid enough to prefer m$ products for their servers. so it is within the rane of possibilities that your isp uses them also. with me always interfacing online though a linux box, no virus gets through the unix security, never mind the av ware.
