A couple of thoughts on this 1) how can the attachments be "peeked" at
without opening them? 2) Current/uptodate virus scanner is a must - no
excuse for our of date dat/virus files. keep a virus out. The other week we
got the lovebug (only one but that was enought) and this was before any
virus protection for it was available. Nothing is fullproof. Current
scanners and prudent caution is the best that you can do.
