I've been getting viruses from names suspiciously like some of our listmembers and I know I'm not the only one this has happened to. The viral messages seem to come in flurries over a week or two and then die off, only to start up again a month or two later. It hasn't been much of a hassle. My anti-virus is set to auto-update daily. And Mailwasher (now working quite well again) has also been helpful in keeping my inbox clean. I'm wondering if there is a way to strip addresses from the archive. It might also act to entice archive lurkers to join the list if they want to comment rather than mail individuals with their comments offlist. xponent Never Got the Mail In Question Maru rob _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
