Default off-topic, but important

If anyone gets an e-mail with a file attachment called "message.zip"
DONT OPEN IT ! It contains a virus. I got one of these e-mails
today but didnt open the file, as i had prior warning about it. The
e-mail was made to look like it was from a Cox Cable administrator
(Cox is my ISP). These hackers are slick !

More info here at this web site ...

I dunno. I strongly suggest to my clients Eudora for all Windows email or
Mozilla.

Linux users can use Ximian Evolution as a drop-in replacement for Outhouse
