Hi Graham, I just wanted to tell you that KeySoft probably won't recognize virus emails, so even if you open one, I don't believe anything would happen. I've received virus text emails before on my BrailleNote, and even if I open the attachments of the email, it doesn't affect my system at all. Just thought you might like to know. Maria
