Hi Robear - I'm not sure if I dare reply to you at all ............ ! (but
the header of your message did say Reply-To: PABear)

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction .............. but I'm
still not sure!

I made an error in my initial statement - "the only exception is the
"welcome" message!"
On review, none of the newsgroup messages had a "paper-clip" beside them!

Surely the suggstions you made would affect all incoming messages? (but I'm
willing to learn otherwise!)

Whilst I'm here, would you be really generous and let me know the best
newsgroup/community site to use for general "computing" queries - such as:

"has anyone any bad experience of using "1-click Answers" from Answers.Com -
might I be landing myself with a virus/worm?"

"is it possible for a "script" to be placed on my PC which will not be found
by Anti-Virus or Anti-Spyware programmes but which will still allow an
outside agency to monitor my activities or, indeed, control the behaviour of
my computer?"

My younger son, Nick, was a graduate whiz-kid computer guru who worked for
ICL. Sadly, he died from an unknown cause 7 years ago at the age of 28 - I
miss him still, especially the IT guidance he gave to his ol' Dad!

Sincerely,

David B.

PS You may answer the two questions above personally if you wish!

Hi!

Almost all of my messages in my newly installed Outlook Express (Windows
XP Home SP2 and all updates) have a paper clip icon shown alongside them
in the main (basic) window (the only exception is the "welcome"
message!).

No messages actually have an attachment!

Can someone enlighten me please?
