Learner,
Just a side note,
I see by your message headers that you use Outlook Express as your
newsreader. Have you ever tried using a "real" newsreader to view
newsgroups? I do not think that OE is very safe and you would be better
off not using it(for mail either). You have learned to "munge" your
addy,why not take the next step in security? I use XanaNews for
newsgroups and Thunderbird for all of my mail(yahoo,hotmail,gmail etc).
I never worry about getting an infection reading any messages with
attachments.
