Dave and List,

It seems that Microsoft is trying to change the
standard for E-mail (is that a surprise?), and that
many of my messages are coming through with the normal
header information encoded as an attachment or trailer
to the message.  If anyone has experience with a
setting which will turn this function off, I will
gladly do so, but until then, please ignore the
gobbledygook at the end of my messages.  There are no
virus' there.

The other side of the coin is that this E-mail program
(which is part of the new Internet Explorer package) is
_very_ user friendly, and automatically hides all the
header information from received messages. They are
available by asking for message properties, but
normally they are out of sight. Neat and clean.
