Stuff like that always makes me glad I use Forté Agent, and not Outlook/Outlook Express!

Wow...I hadn't thought about that email/newsreader in years.  I used Agent for a looong time before being forced to switch to Outlook.  Back in I think '94 or '95 it was called "Agent .99" (a play on the TV show "Get Smart") and only did Newsgroups.  When they added emial, it was a really big deal.  Man, I need to go and have a look at that program again...I remember it being very solid.

McAfee detected it five times only this morning in my office pc. Having your antivirus definitions up to date is a must.
