I guess I'm mistaken, Hugh. Every once in a while I write an email to this list that never appears. I go back and look at what I sent and to make sure I deleted the PC works tag and all seems ok. But, the missing mail always seems to contain the word... ok I'll say it... virus. I always thought that was pretty silly blocking the word virus as if any self respecting virus would label itself. Then I saw someone else using the vi*us approach and seemed to recall somewhere a discussion that there were words that would cause the list to block an email.
Boy do I feel liberated now. Virus, virus, virus, virus ... ;-) Ben Moore -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Hugh Vandervoort Sent: Saturday, May 05, 2007 12:20 AM To: pcworks@imagicomm.com Subject: Re: PCWorks: Avg Free or Avast Free So, you're saying that If I write, "Virus", this email won't go through?
