It will probably morph into something besides re: your website, so be careful. I got something from an aunt that looked suspicious, and didn't open it. I figure if it's important she;ll try again. :)

Roughly, about 80% of what I see in my Inboxes goes directly into "Delete" and "Empty Trash"...especially those with attachments.

Even the best online friends we have could be "infected"...it's like VD. Remember this old public-service commercial ditty from the Seventies?

"VD...it's for ev...rybody
Not just for the few
You can always get VD
From someone nice
Like you...

VD...is for ev...rybody
Darling, have no doubt
That you can give or get VD
That's what...it's all...about!"[i]

Anything that has a "Re:..." something and an attachment, be careful with them.

My email provider moves spam to a special box and also does a virus check before I get anything.
