A useful answer! Thanks, Dave.
A reminder: Please do NOT reply or respond to viruses or spam ON THE
LIST. Email me OFF LIST to let me know. I am not on the list 24/7, but
check my email more often than I'm able to check here. I do welcome a
simple post with information about the problem where it is useful,
such as Dave's post. But NO GRIPING ABOUT SPAM on the list.
A strong request: no "bad" words. Yahoo may at any time, without
warning change our classification to an Adult List. There is no
appeal, they won't warn me. So please watch your language, common
sense applies since this is an unwritten policy of Yahoogroups.
