Don't forget the virus are using human engineering. Their authors
are looking for means so that their emails will look like actual
messages. The best is to request that someone who wants to send
an attached file write **before** to ask the permission before
sending it, or at least send a message at least 5 minutes before
to say an attachment is coming (and hopefully no virus writter
will do that...).

Concerning the various lists hosted at rootsweb, you can receive
them in 2, sometimes 3 formats: list, digest and sometimes index.
The digest format (QUEBEC-D for this list) may look like a set
of attached files for some versions of outlook express. In other
words, if you subscribe to a list at rootsweb, and there are many
family lists hosted there, with the digest setting (i.e. once a
day), then your mail client may complain about receiving attached
files (which it is anyway).
