That seems to have changed lately, and I can't seem to go a week without getting at least 3 or 4. Fortunately, Lycos automatically strips applets and executables, so I don't think I'll ever have to worry about accidentally unleashing one, but its still an annoyance. Of course, one of the "wonders" of modern computer virii is the fact that they'll go rooting through the sender's address book and claim to be from addresses that they find there. Still, I have to think that the name on the last e-mail I got was a little odd no matter how you look at it... Name - "yourname". It hit the trashcan the moment I saw it. 8P junior
