Aye.  I will never open an attachment until I know exactly what it is,
what it contains, and what program will process it.

And if I'm unsure about an attachment, I will save it to my C:\temp 
directory, browse to that directory, right click and properties (which
I did to this file when I saw it was .PIF)

Curiously enough, this got through my e-mail server virus detection.
Better go make sure it's up to date (thought I updated it 3 weeks ago)

Regards,

Jim Langston

Me transmitte sursum, Caledoni!
