To the List Administrator and anyone else who can give me help/advice.
Three times this evening I've had messages,off
list,from 3 different e-mail addresses exhorting me to open an attachment
to read about some 'document' that applies to me.
I do my e-mailing through my TV set [a special
channel run by a Cable Co.],and am unable to open attachments,authentic or
bogus.A friend has told me that if I was using a PC,and HAD opened the
attachments it would be like opening Pandora's Box and I would almost
certainly be releasing a virus.
Up to now I've simply deleted them ; but I would rather not get them in the
first place.
Getting 3 this evening has prompted this plea for help/advice.
Cheers----------Derek Barraclough
