Thanks, Julie. Peter sent out a warning about the benetech threatening our accounts. I've received one for Yahoo. I'm assuming it's a virus message like the one Peter said was being sent from benetech because it went to my bulk mail and not my regular mail. Surely if Yahoo was going to suspend my account for some unknown reason they wouldn't put the message in my bulk mail folder. It doesn make me a bit nervous, though. I've written to the yahoo administrator or service person but so far no response. Cindy --- Julie Morales <inlovewithchrist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi, Cindy.
