68007 2002-08-04 07:55:00 Of course they may not contain a virus - now.

Xtra have installed virus scanning of all emails. You will be aware of this, they contacted all their customers. To quote from the Xtra web site:

If a virus is detected, the virus is destroyed and the cleaned email (without the virus infected attachment) is sent to the intended recipient with a message advising that a virus has been found and deleted. In certain instances, where Xtra is unable to isolate and remove the virus, the attached file or the email itself will be deleted along with the virus.

BELIEVE IT when they say it HAD a virus.....and take care as they may not be able to spot them all, you need to update your anti-virus regularly, I recommend weekly.

68011 2002-08-04 10:11:00 Can't wait to get the Flu!!!!(Not really) When I was a 20 something in Yorkshire I used to drink Stones Ale, In moderation of course. Ye Gods it was powerful stuff, a glass of water next day & you were half cut again.
Those were the days Poppa John :D
