Hi Paul, Sorry, I neglected to defend the group there, but you are of course correct. The virus was always direct to me, not through your server. It's never normally a problem, just clean or delete, I just messed up and used my work e-mail for a while some time ago, so I got nagged by our net admins during the spate of virus's. Sh*t happens when you're stupid :-)
