VIRUSES. > Just something for all to consider ... I think a common sense approach is the way to go. Let's stay with Plain Text unless there is a good reason for HTML. If a unsolicited message arrives with an attachment from someone you don't know my advice is to delete it immediately. Let not curiosity kill the cat. On the other hand, if its a fairly small Word doc. from George Huxtable then the risk of this containing malicious code is probably fairly low.
