Just something to let you know about the new terror in email viruses. The Klez worm is coming out and wrecking havoc on PCs. Most ppl feel safe bc it is from an addy they know and trust. One trick to knowing whether or not the email is the klez worm is that the attachment is MESSAGE.TXT all caps. The body of the email may also tell you something like Microsoft couldn't format the email properly. I just recieved 3 emails back to back ... one from staff@3dcommune.com .. another from 3DCC-Subscribe@yahoogroups.com ... and another from another 3D-CC something. If you don't recall sending an email to that specific address be sure to see if the attachment is named MESSAGE.TXT .. it may have some other files in it but that file will be there.

Hi dboura, Thanks for the heads up and info. One thing I do is keep my preview pane permanently closed. If an e-mail looks at all suspect, I don't even open it and look in the header instead.
