-- Off topic, apologies in advance - but since it came up, I'd hate to see people practice unsafe hex: I own and operate a 30+ system network with tons of e-mail being shot around the offices across two cities and the rest of the world, our policy is: Do not open ANY attachments that you are not otherwise expecting - EVER - regardless of the type of attachment. Find alternate ways of swapping files (using some spot on your Intranet is far better than shuttling things around through e-mail) and make a habit of never sending or receiving attachments. With such a policy in place, not only will your mail server thank you, but you also end up keeping a neat (and easily backed up) repository of files, AND you don't have to send an annoying new e-mail to everyone once a week telling them about the latest virus. Ideally, all e-mail's with attachments get filtered and trashed before they ever get opened - e-mail with attachments is evil, no matter which way you cut it :) --
