RE: I am really getting tired of these

Twice today I received emails from the list wit attachments on them that
aren't supposed to be there I will check the archives to see if they are
there or if it was do to the infect virus I was sent by this Kathy person. I
emailed these people privately to let them know as not to offended anyone I
may be mistaken however and will get to the bottom of this. But when ever
you get an email and it has an attachment of its own email it is a sign of a
virus. I am not new to computers I build all my own and do most of my own
programming. I know a little something about this and have always used
outlook. What do you suggest as an pumpkin friendly email server a second
hand delivery server like yahoo or hot mail??

Bob is right, the email is going straight to you from her not by way of the
list.  She has your email address in her address book.  The best solution
is NEVER NEVER use Microsoft Outlook.  It is a virus distribution program
that can also do email but remember it is FIRST A VIRUS DISTRIBUTION
PROGRAM.  Trash outlook and get a pumpkin list friendly email client.  Then
use filters to eliminate email from pesky sources.

Another possibility is to contact the abuse department at her ISP (looks
like bellsouth.net).  Ask them to block her email account until it is not
propagating email viruses.  They will tell you they can not do that.  Trust
me...they can.  Don't take no for an answer, ask for the supervisor and
keep going until they fix it.  Do not be rude, save that as absolutely the
last resort.........................

ok, ok I used the word pumpkin at least once
