KAK worm? I believe is a bit of javascript which will infect your computer if your eamil reader displays the HTML version of the email and runs the javascript. Presumably a 'preview' pane is enough to run this. This is one good reason why HTML formatted email should just be directed to /dev/null at the mail server ;-) I had an email the other day with KAK worm at the end. Tim
