Hi Kate,
Yes, attachments are strongly discouraged, for various reasons such as download time, in addition to viruses.
The reason viruses on this list serve have dropped to nothing (knock wood) is due to virus filtering of
outgoing mail on Extension's server. I daresay that if you get a virus on a message w/ "Mastgar" in the
subject line, it will be forwarded from someone else's computer.
Looks like the hacking minions have unleashed new attacks on the Evil Empire with some even nastier
worms. If you don't have current anti-virus software on your computer--buy it!! If you have it, update the
virus definitions faithfully. Our dept. computer guru recommends weekly.
FWIW,
