I don't wanna sound cocky or any of that, but if Linux were used to run the mail client most of this would *NEVER* happen. The "zip bomb" sounds interesting though; Linux users could be affected by this too if they go off and blindly unzip the thing without previwing it first. I generally like to list the contents of zips and tarballs for that reason; not so much it might be a bomb but I want to know what directory things are going to be dumped into. Most tarballs create their own directory where most zips don't. But either one could sprinkle themselves into multiple directories all they want. Of course, somebody could stick a shell script or perl program or even a linux binary and if you go off and run it without knowing what it is, well..... Again another plug for not doing day to day things while logged on as root. If you *MUST* use a windows mail client, use one that doesn't support active content, that putrid HTML mail. Or at least some way to turn off active content. And most important, DON'T OPEN ATTACHMENTS when you don't know where they came from and why. -- HolmesGrown Solutions The best solutions for the best price! http://ld.net/?holmesgrown
