I don't know about that, but just reading an EMAIL won't cause any programs to run and do any damage, at least for now. I don't blame the original poster of the warning here though, because how do you know these days? Web pages are a different story, unfortunately. With Java and the like, you never know. At least with a Web page you know where you're getting the problem from. I would forward those messages too if I didn't already know about them. As a matter of fact, I think I'm guilty of forwarding the cookie recipe a couple of times a few years back. How would you know? :-) I've been wanting to post that virus message for a long time, but it didn't have anything to do with Ercoupes, so I resisted. But I knew someday the topic would come up. The FAQ sites are interesting to read. On Ercoupes, I just got a new flatbed scanner and am replacing the small pictures on the web page with larger ones that are still only about 50K or so. The M-10 is now flying again :-) Just in time to be due for the annual :-(
