Correct Steve, and thanks.  I got this message because you copied me.  I have
a friend that BCC 's all the time, now I can tell him to stop doing that if he
wants me to get it.  It does a great job of stopping spam also.  Like you, I
have this mail go into it's own folder, and F Secure deletes any virus
attachments as they come in...some of the virus mails I've got actually had my
name on them, but most of the ones lately didn't.

I think I've got it set up now to pull anything that contains
oilheads@xxxxxxxxx out of my trash, and put it back into my inbox.  This is
being done at the ISP level, not in my own email program.  Guess I'll wait and
see if it works :)

  I'd hate to throw the baby out with the bathwater. Norton Antivirus does
  the trick for defending from incoming viruses. I have a mail handler that
  puts all the stuff from this list in a single folder for me. And Norton
  AntiSpam does the trick for filtering out the crap from the nasties.

  If you adopt your proposed strategy, you'll also never know when people
  BCC you on non-list email.
