Re: INFO: Happy99.exe and Virus Discussions

Robert,

How about a simple cure?  How about reconfiguring the listserver not to
accept or pass thru attachments?

I belong to several lists and that simple procedure has solved the problem.

It seems, we as a web professional organization should take the lead, not
follow, but it's never too late to get it right.
