That message don't make any since.....<scratching head>
all e-mail is text only... how can you hide a binary file in
ascii format??? you can't unless that tag a file with a text
and then you have to run  i manualy......

anyway... even if that's the case... I have a bios that tell's me
if a program is trying to access my boot secter... and stops it if i 
conferm to stop it.
