to ALL my friends...there are several great, free ways to do email without using OutlookExpress OR Netscape..free email software Pegasusmail, listed here, is very good, and there will soon be a new version out, totally re-written and wonderful.
and one more good one (I have used this, and it is very nice)
I personally use POP3 Scan Mailbox to look at my mail BEFORE it downloads, so I can delete any spam or suspicious messages. This may have saved me from the SIRCAM virus, though I did have Norton running also.
I also use Eudora email for most of my regular stuff..(so far...till I see the new Pegasus)
Folks...these things work! A non-Micro$oft email program plus a good anti-virus program will do much to ease your mind....here is a free (if you are in the US) anti-virus program.
I hope this latest mess hits none of us!
