Ever hear of the ILOVEYOU virus? That was just text. I'd demonstrate but that wouldn't be very nice.I'll email you ten dollars if you can send me an email that infects my system with a virus. ILOVEYOU and other email-based viruses only work if you are running an insecure mail client such as Microsoft Outlook that are configured to automatically execute data sent in that email. Most "sane" email clients such as those which accompany Linux/Unix distributions are completely unaffected. Besides, all code is just text. Erik ---- Erik Price Web Developer Temp Media Lab, H.H.
