[Christopher Maule-Oatway <c.maule@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

Recently three e-mails were sent to an old account of mine that only 
receives e-mails.  Each had nothing in the body of the message, and at the 
bottom of each was a file name with a gif extension.  These files do not 
appear to be attachments: they are not in Eudora's Attachments folder, and 
the file names were placed at the end of the e-mail, whereas the names of 
attachments are found before the AVG certification messages.

I have searched for these files to delete them in Eudora's subfolders and 
have not found them there.  After a complete scan AVG tells me that there 
is no virus on my system.  I know that something was downloaded with these 
e-mails because of the length of time taken by the downloads.  So, does 
anyone have any ideas as to waht these files might be, and where should I 
look for them?

Eudora is set to convert received e-mails to plain text.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,

Chris
