Netscape is not vulnerable to any viruses sent by email. It is not possible for Netscape to execute an attachment in email. This was done to avoid these very problems that plague Outlook users. Unless you get an attachment, save it to your hard drive, and run it from there, it is extremely unlikely that you will ever get a virus from an email if you use Netscape. -- Jerry Baker" :) mark
