This is my week for mistakes, apparently. The garbled message that went out Friday is NOT a virus nor dangerous, rather it's a result of my trying to be extra careful in light of the earlier incident. Briefly, I expanded a small jpg image that was attached to one of the messages for the list, and found it was indeed harmless. Unfortunately, the mailing list software decided the expanded image itself should be treated as a message, and happily sent it out in its binary, unusable form. So - when I trust my antivirus software, I get a nasty surprise. When I don't trust my antivirus software, and check by hand, I get a different kind of surprise. Fortunately, next week is a three day work week at Purdue, so I expect a 40 percent reduction in problems. Steve
