And the fact that you announced on list that you had done so merely offered a golden opportunity to any malicious lurker to send a virus with the same filename to everybody with headers forged to appear to be from you. As you are now aware this is not difficult. The people you should be annoyed with are the wastes of oxygen who have made us so neccesarily paranoid by spending all their time working out new ways to inflict their rubbish on us. Most of the spam I get these days comes from compromised computers and is in the form of an image so that it can't be filtered on the headers or the content. -- Niall
