You are subscribed to digest and Outlook Express "sees" the text
messages as attachments (they are not, but that is how the mail
program works). You will need to adjust your settings or you
will not be able to receive any attachments, including pictures
or genealogy files from your family and friends <smile>.

Below are instructions for correction of the settings.

*****

This option has been part of OE all along, but with the latest
upgrades, the option is turned on by default.

1. Open Outlook Express

2. Click on "Tools" and then "Options".

3. Click the Security tab

4. Under Virus Protection, click to remove the check from the box
labeled "Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened that could
potentially be a virus".

5. Click OK
