thank you for your response. I've been TRYING to tell
them this, I have to listen to them all day complaining
about this problem, but they won't take my advice...gee..I
haven't gotten a virus yet, and I changed my preview
pane..lol.. but what I'm wanting is some, "in your face
proof" of this advice. Does anyone know of a link to an
article, etc from microsoft or any other reputable
company??
Thanks!
Nicole
