Virii and Trojans - as this is the only email list I belong to, I'm afraid it
might be the source of a number of virii, as well as the Cassandra trojan I
picked up recently.  My Nortons is cleaning off the virusesii, but the trojan
has been more of a challenge.  I'm going off the list for a while to see if
these problems go away.
