Justin,
Stop using Microsoft Outlook (or Express)!!! It is the only mail reader that
is so poorly designed it lets that happen.
I went to hotmail to avoid it, yahoo mail or netscape mail will work as
well.
If you want to use your POP account from your ISP get Eudora. Best email
program going and viruses and the like don't work through it. It won't be
effected by the ones designed to get at your system through Outlook and the
others need your help. You'd have to save the attachment and open it for any
virus to give you a problem.
The lite version used to be a free download, but I don't think it is any
more. You might find a version of that somewhere if you do a search from
google or dogpile. eBay usually has some version or the other on the list of
software for sale.
Good luck and safe computing.
Namaste,
Joe
