Some of you may have noticed that one of these slipped onto the VOICE list,
but some protection that either they or their ISP had stripped out the attachment,
leaving an empty shell. (I think . . . .)

Those of us running non-ODIN'd or VPC'd os2 can probably open these -- and
nearly all other malicious critters from the MS world -- with impunity. I sometimes
do, if I'm curious enough, but generally anything that even remotely smells like Spam
of any sort gets deleted unopened, if for no other reason than that there's just so
damn
much of it trying to clog my mailboxes. Who's got the time to mess with it ?
In the regular course of clearing out the daily junk, I probably even zap a gen-u-wyne

email I would have wanted to read, once in awhile.
