RE: Virus alert

I know this is off-topic, but is anyone using Outlook and know how to not
have it automatically use the HTML version of a file?  And how not to reply
in HTML when answering an incoming HTML message?

I received an item  from MIDRANGE-L entitled:

        OPNQRYF - duplicate field name error
Dated:  Wed, 14 Jun 2000 15:13:28 -0700

with an HTML version attached.  My Norton NT antivirus checker  kicked it 
out as having a nasty in the HTML.  I removed it from Norton's "quarantine" 
and viewed it.  Norton may well be right - it has a *LOT of script stuff in 
it after the (usual) repeat of the plain text and it looks specific for 
Microsoft/Intel-based systems.

Careful - if you open it in an E-mail client that automatically uses the 
HTML version of the file you may get *HURT.

Dave.
