I'm always skeptical of any attached files. First save them, and then use acurrent virus detection software on them. I move about 2 dozen email aday.(not including here) And lots of attached files. I can't tell you howmany 'piggy back' viruses I've confronted on emails. Especially theHappy99.exe virus. Seems like I was helping people I do business with getrid of viruses more than my own work.Sometimes it can also be the persons 'card'. Which is just an emailbusiness card. If your reader doesn't deal with HTML well it will appear asan attached file.GY-----Original Message-----
