Apologies for a 4 day gap in monitoring, been away at a Conference. Can I take this opportunity to re-iterate that email attachments are deprecated at this list. We received the Melissa virus via such an attachment, and in the example below a vbs (visual basic ?) file is bound to raise suspicions. Can I please ask all list members NOT to send attachments. If you have some information to send us, include it in the body. Can I also indicate that vcf cards are also not welcome. For the specific file below, I have (carefully) examined it, firstly with Norton antivirus 6.0 (September update) and found nothing. Microsoft Word visual basic macro editor also finds the file entirely empty. This may be because Norton has already removed anything offending before I opened it, or perhaps because the file WAS empty (in which case I have to ask Bob Harris why he is sending an empty attachment), or perhaps because it might contain something too clever Whatever the diagnosis, I would strongly recommend that you do NOT attempt to process this file, and you should delete it, and check your disk with an up to date virus checker. Meanwhile, I will attempt to prevent this list from redistributing attachments. >Have fun with these links. >Bye. > > >Content-Type: application/octet-stream; > name="LINKS.VBS" >Content-Disposition: attachment; > filename="LINKS.VBS" > >Attachment converted: G3:LINKS.VBS (????/----) (0007D985) Henry Rzepa. +44 171 594 5774 (Office) +44 171 594 5804 (Fax) http://www.ch.ic.ac.uk/rzepa/ xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers.
