Friends, family have a habit of sending photo's which are far too large for downloading. Call your ISP helpdesk and they will delete it for you. You could also login to your ISP WebMail program and this will download all the headers of your email. There will be an option there to select and delete the offending message. |

| 82557 | 2002-09-24 11:41:00 | Thx all. Replies instructive & appreciated. | mercury3600S (2009) | ||
| 82558 | 2002-09-24 11:55:00 | Thankyou....had managed to get the mail coming in again, by going OUT of Outlook, and trying again. It eventually cleared, and I deleted the dratted thing. Was ALMOST tempted, as had saw friends name on it,.....but decided it was just rubbish, and knew the "NEVER EVER REPLY" bit. | Maryann (2010) | ||
| 82559 | 2002-09-24 12:42:00 | But what was sent to you, Maryann? Some e-mails ARE very large, that doesn't necessarily mean they have malicious content! |

| 82560 | 2002-09-24 19:36:00 | It was the e-mail regarding Bill Gates, with all the dozens of "hopefuls"....with friend being sender. Decided they are all maybe more "up in the air" than me. However, if friend gets nice fat cheque, I hope she remembers me. I will allow her to say "told you so"!! ....in the nicest possible way. |

| 82561 | 2002-09-24 21:40:00 | more trademe members, eh? I was just reading the thread over there regarding this.. what a small world it is :D | honeylaser (814) | ||
| 82562 | 2002-09-24 23:32:00 | And the biggest virus on the net is, and probably always will be "Compulsive message forwarding" Chris. |

| 82563 | 2002-09-24 23:39:00 | The ones I hate getting are the ones that get sent with a mp3 attached. Especially when some noddy decides to send a really, really crappy song. BALDY:-) |

| 82564 | 2002-09-24 23:43:00 | It wasn't me Baldy! | Chris Wilson (431) | ||
| 82565 | 2002-09-24 23:48:00 | Maryann, rather than waiting for her to say "I told you so"... send her this link: www.symantec.com and suggest that in future she check out other hoaxes at: www.symantec.com |
