To the best of my knowledge, my mail program deletes the whole thing at
once. I attended a Micron Internet Conference last week where one of the
support personnel said he deletes anything with attachments without
opening. Diana Pederson (?) said her son, a computer expert, opened an
attachment that turned out to be an executable file, and it deleted a bunch
of stuff, including his term paper. Maybe even trashed his hard drive.
You open them if you wish. I don't. Margaret
