Not sure what you are using for an email client Katherine, but Outlook 2002
(and the new 2003), and even Outlook 2000 (patched), do a fine job of
blocking those nasty attachments.
With a little bit of effort, you can customise which attachments are blocked
and which are not.
I can honestly say I haven't had to worry about a virus laden attachment for
the last 2-3 years. Outlook takes care of it before my antivirus even sees
it.

:Do you all have hosts for your webpages and email that

:allow me to filter for
:subjects and body and senders, but not file attachment
:extensions. They
:told me it is my responsibility to use my email client to
:do that. I agree,
:but I'd like some duplication for my money. I might want
:an email with the
:subject: "Thanks!" I actually get those. I'm pretty
:sure I don't need a
