Georgs, RIGHT ON!!!!
These days there is so much malware being distributed via attachments.
I had two computers destroyed by an attachement that supposedly came from
FedEx.
This particular variant blew right through Norton and Windows defender. I
later found out it was also effective in overcoming serveral other popular
anti virus protection programs. According to my computer security expert
there is one variant against which ther is NO CURE or DEFENSE.
I prefer T&T with its plain text, zero attachment rule, because I feel
secure from getting my computers ruined by virus attachments. And its the
only access means when you are reduced to slow dial up in some places.
