I have checked AOL policy and found the statement below. So the question becomes does the AOL service see the embedded image as an atttached file or not? If it sees it as an attached file we (at least at AOL) are ok. "AOL now automatically scans every e-mail attachment you send or receive for viruses, worms and Trojan horses. This service is free and does not require you to upgrade or download any software -- AOL does it all for you. The scanning takes place on all versions of AOL software on both PC and Mac." In a message dated 5/30/2004 12:41:27 PM Eastern Standard Time, andpph@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx writes: am not sure if RIT's virus detection system would pick up and eliminate a picture file such as was sent (improperly but ... ) although the true test would have been if a virus was indeed hidden in the picture file data. I will look into this. Please don't send virus test files.
