Subject: RE: Tech: voicemessage.com sends pif file - virus?
kat, I routinely get voice messages from my 85 yr. old uncle, but they are an mp3 file from Talksender. I cherish the sound of his voice, and will after he's gone. He started using it before he learned to type...determined to use the computer. Now that he has learned how to copy and paste, I get lots of jokes.

I received the nasty email you described yesterday. It just happened to have the name of someone I know at my ISP. I didn't click on the link (I'm not that dumb), but I wrote a mutual friend who is computer savvy and went to this person's house and found 3 viruses on his computer. (He hadn't updated his virus protection recently.)

JohnInKansas, is there a way to see the html code (so I can see where a link goes to) in an email message? (I have Outlook Express.)

Also, has anyone else received a suspicious-looking email (with an attachment) from Khaft (I think that's the name). I've received several a day for over a month now. I guess they think a person will eventually assume the name is familiar! Also, yesterday I got 25 messages saying my message was undeliverable...all different names at the same ISP.

They really ought to do something about SPAM now, even with virus checkers, etc., it sure is a hassle.
