I'm tellin' ya...the best way to filter thru email is using your ISP's webmail
service. You'll have a list of email messages with the SIZE of the file
displayed & a checkbox to delete it before it's opened. Most email is less than
10-12K, if it's 50K or more, and not a picture or scan you're expecting, it's a
virus! Delete it! It's quick & easy...if you like to store email in folders in
your email program, you can now download your "pre scanned" email with that
email program & treat it as you normally would.
