Hi,
I've said several times that I'm not worried about anything, and that's not
why I asked a couple of questions. I do use an antivirus program that keeps
me covered regarding incoming mail. And I know the general idea that
Outlook express, my email client, seems to misinterpret a number of things
as attachment, and I've said several times that I'm expressing technical
curiosity about this. Which doesn't seem to be answerable on the list, so
I'd like to let it go completely, now.
I'm very grateful for your response, but please, everyone, there's no need
to respond to my messages on this topic any more. Let me repeat that I'm
not worried about this in terms of security, but was only hoping to find
out why an email client, mine and others, may mistake something like an
antivirus company blurb as a file attachment, when what we see (or hear) is
a message that's simply within the message body of the email, not an
attachment.
Once more, I'm repeating this not in order to elicit comments but to say,
again, that this was all I was talking about and I'd like to bow out.
Thanks for understanding.

Hi well there could be a lot of reasons this is happening from some one
has a bug piggy backing on messages to some one has a signature line
that is formatted in some way your client does not understand.
As I said the easiest way for you to handle it is to have your system be
auto protected by some sort of virus scanner and simply do not open
these files.
Also as I have said before maybe list admen will want too look in to wy
people are receiving attachments from a list witch is not supposed to
have any.

Okay. At this point, I just think I'd rather ask a friend who's an IT
professional to explain this simply than to keep conjecturing about it,
when
obviously none of us knows why these things we're describing happen. If
I
ask around and find out anything about this, I'll be sure to mention it.

Well,
when I looked at the original message that started this thread with my
Jaws cursor there was an attachment. I also checked in my Eudora
attachment files the Winmail.dat file was there. So regards what Jaws
tells you I received an attachment. N. on 12:39 22/09/2005, Yardbird
