    Since I don't get the digest and rarely see the viruses. . . . .
    unless your ISP filters; remember you should implement security in
    layers, possibly consider it the first line of defense [each should have
    protection as well.] these virii will get through. (my ISP does
    [they are using brightstor; -not a testimonial-; based on the few
    ripped-apart messages that do get through] it can be really tough to
    get some example code through sometimes_not_ And I have told the only
    prefs available to me & through help desk not to scan my mail ; but it
    does... dang corporate policy for major Canadian telephone company;....
    Imagine now; they still want me to pay an additional $5.00 /month to get
    me a desktop client, but I don't get the viruses because they already
    filter ;-p )

    Likewise I know I cannot trust this account for receiving any files
    because they are intercepted
    each and everyone ; some still get through ; user [admin or not] beware
