Thanks Steve,

I am comfortable with the level of security on my systems, and if others are
happy with not being able to execute the bat or exe files then cool.

Is there a way to prevent the access to our list or is it something we must
suffer through?

Do you think it might be someone in our club inadvertantly generating the
e-mails?  I don't know how to read the headers, but I might know someone who
does.
