You beat me to it, Doug.

As far as the "=" I suggest checking your Mime settings in your email
client. Since you have all those useless acronyms after your name, I will
assume your using MS Outlook as I am. I had this same problem a couple of
weeks ago and adjusting the Mime settings is what took care of it.

Have a nice day.

If you are so perfect, what is with all of the "=" signs in
your post? None of us are perfect, as we are only human. So
let's get off of the high-horse of condemning fellow members
over every trifling mistake. The man is only out to HELP
others, not belittle or antagonize them.

Chris,


Are you a broken record?  This is the 3rd time I have seen
this EXACT =
same
message from you.

For the record, MOST people are NOT using Windows XP, unless
they =
recently
purchased a new system, which had it installed.  You can STILL
purchase
computers with Windows 98 loaded, even though Windows ME
superceded it.

In regards to patches, and the like, Microsoft will release
patches for =
its
operating systems through the Windows Update site, that
everyone is
extremely familiar with.  Though, a GOOD user would also
enable the =
firewall
on Windows XP, or use a third party firewall.

I guess the next ranting you will be going on about is that
the sky is
falling because an acorn fell on your head.

> FLAW IN WINDOWS XP COULD ALLOW OUTSIDE ATTACK
A critical vulnerability in Windows could permit an intruder
to attack =
your
computer. According to Microsoft, it could be done with a
rogue MP3 or =
WAV
file. Those files generally are used for music. Microsoft has
posted =
details
and a patch.
