Guest guest Posted June 18, 2001 Report Share Posted June 18, 2001 Another alternative would be to read messages from the web. This is what I do and if I get an Email from the group sent directly to my mailbox and it has an attachment I delete it. Also by reading from the web if I have days at a time that I don't have time to check in with the group, it doesn't overload my mail box. > Look, lets not get all upset and start accusing people of sending out > viruses on purpose.
