Maybe so.....but you seem to be the only one receiving the plain text emails
as an attachment.

May I suggest you try Mailwasher or some other email anti-spam program to
delete unwanted spam and viruses? Perhaps that will allow you to read
Richard's posts.

Your call.....but I repeat.....YOU are the only one getting them as
attachments!!!
