May I suggest Forte' Agent for mail on a Win box? It is text based, will let you inspect attachments/html in raw form, and will warn and query you should you try to open an executable. I've been using it for 2 years now and if there is a reason not to, I haven't run into it. You can download a free version called Free Agent. I think the news reader is crippled on the free version. I don't know if it runs ads. My mail will have to come through a Win machine for a while yet, so Agent is my protection against hostile email. I tried Eudora, but, for some reason I can't recall, it didn't thrill me. Yes I fear I am living beyond my mental means--Nash
