No you aren't on digest.

see

I've been on the net 8 years now and the first thing I did was throw away my

virus program (too many warnings and crashes). I've never had a virus. I

follow very simple rules:

Never open an attachment with a .exe, .bat, .com, or .dll file extension.

Never use the virus magnet known as Outlook Express.

Use a no-nonsense email client that is not .html friendly. Download for

free: Eudora Lite or Pegasus

OR, download Forte Agent or The Bat and pay the $30 for the key. There are

many others, but I've only tried these. Agent is my favorite. Go to:

www.tucows.com

and look up the downloads for these and other email clients.

I think you just vaccinated the list against computer viruses! ;-)

Geez, I've been thinking about this stuff for too long. I just found myself

wondering if Os were more susceptible to computer viruses. (One could of

course make the argument that As are more likely to update their antivirus

software, although Os who are particularly paranoid might have an edge, I

don't know.)
