*IF* my sysadmin were to implement some sort of procedure to block
these attachments, I would probably be aggravated if there was not
some way to eventually get to them (which is why I think the M$
patch is too extreme. Then again, I think having a Windows mail
system w/o antivirus at the server level is rather foolhardy).
I've gotten hundreds of attachments in email, and less than 10
have had virii, but I'm still going to protect myself.
