Tom,
I use Outlook. I have no address book. I do not preview messages and
Cloudmark filters the spam/virus. I was simply pointing out a useful tool
for those who use outlook.

     And if you don't use MS Outlook or Outlook Express, you pretty
     much don't need
     to worry if they get by the filter.

     My problem with this whole thing is that many people stand
     there with a huge
     target painted on themselves and then try to put enough
     plexiglass between
     them and the snipers.

     Get smart.  Get rid of Outlook.  Use something, ANYTHING, else.

     No offense, and I'm not singling anyone out.  I'm just being
     realistic here.
