Don't open that HI subject line message anyway. I do not use a mailer with a guestbook or similar but only use VMSMAIL to read my mail and correspond so I am not sure how it would have been possible for me to send a virus to the list's server - but apparently it has my adddress as a source or origin. I imagine it was spammed somehow. I am asking the people here knowledgeable about such things about it. Will provide update when I learn something. andy
