[SG] Internet Message

June,
Many of your points are good ones. I was wondering if you had any
advice about coping with MIME attachments that are part of a message
coming from a newslist. Many times I can't even tell that a message
has been sent in MIME format until I click on it to read (BTW
everyone...... Noone is supposed to be sending MIME formated messages
to this and the Perinnial list) . It usually leaves a little file of
the MIME encoding on my hard drive. I don't open them but wouldn't a
diabolical person beable to send something like that with a virus in
it and have it self executing? I've wondered about if that is
possible. Some list have more Mime posting than others.
Any Ideas on this?
Thanks.
