Hi Tru64 admins!
(Yes, I know this list is not for discussions -
I hope such a situation will not arise again.)

1) In my company, we officially got the hint to _disable_
Outlook's "preview" feature for this very reason
(In the German version, click the third pull-down menu "Ansicht"
and remove the tick at "Vorschaufenster" - for other languages,
please find your corresponding place).
2) Jim (as well as several others, day by day) posted in HTML,
which (IMHO: unluckily) is displayed by (most or all) readers.
I would like to see all mail (at least on this list) to use plain
text only, for security reasons like these.
(And I would like to configure my Netscape not to show HTML,
if I only found a way to do so.)
I wish you all not to incur any damage from the current virus wave
(and to enjoy your weekend),
Joerg Bruehe
