People are still asking me to resend my attachment but I have not sent out
any message with an attachment.
When the virus got me the saved attachment looked like it came
from
Microsoft Internet server MSN.com so I thought
but word nude in the subject line. When saved it took the shape of the
Microsoft network logo and was bright red in color. It said bad
transmission when opened.
I will not be sending out anything attached for awhile
