The software is called Eudora, it's just another e-mail program, but it doesn't do a preview of the message like Outlook. Outlook is suseptible to viruses mainly because it is so popular, so most viruses are written to affect it. Just for the sake of trivia, Eudora is named for the author, Eudora Welty. It's not a complicated program, I've used it for years and am still using an older version. The new versions can still be freeware, but they have a little pop-up ad in the corner. If you register it, the ads go away and I think you may get a few more features, I don't remember. The way mine is set up, McAfee deletes the infected file before I ever have a chance to open it, but the e-mail itself is still in my inbox so I can see where it came from. Outlook opens attachments for you in the preview window, thereby launching the virus. I see somebody already posted a link, check it out, I think you'll like it, and I'm pretty sure you'll like getting fewer viruses. If you don't like it, try another one called Pegasus Mail. I'm a computer geek at work, the other guys are right, don't try to fix the file, just delete it. It's much safer that way, and whoever sent it probably doesn't even know they're sending a virus. If it IS something important, they can fix their computer first then send it to you again.

When Push Comes to Shove - by Dave Patterson. When I was a “kid” (still am to a deree) about two I guess, my parents couldn’t find me one day. They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
