Re: [OTR] [OTR] don't open attachments, just delete (Re: hello)

Interesting... I didn't get that message from Ysobelle via the list...

...but I did get two messages at my office address last night that
indicate that someone ELSE blocked an attachment *I* sent (that I never
*actually* sent in reality) ... which is also apparently a common side
effect of a virus that isn't even on my machine (don't ask... I don't
completely understand)... so yeah, there are weird things afoot.

Yes, I'll second the concept that liberal use of the 'delete' function is
appropriate: better to miss a fun and genuine attachment than to loose or
forward a virus!  :)
