it just says (your picture.pif) short cut to msdos prompt. the
paper clip only gives me options of saving .
so i guess i will throw it away.
sometimes i get mail that looks suspicious, like it has been
repeated or forwarded several times, these worry me. but this
looks plain and normal.
address from (odek@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx).
but i wont let my inquisitive nature get the best of me.
lol
thanks everyone.
Larry
