Tonks:
I opened a couple of them before I knew. They were from people that I 
reconized as being on the list. I wrote to one asking what it was and 
why was I getting it and they wrote back and said it was a virus. I did 
a scan of my computer and nothing came up.

I don't really know that much about computers, but can't some of these 
things just sit around and wait, hidden in your computer until they are 
called. Like a 'sleeper' cell or something?  But I think my firewall 
softwear has taken care of it. I hope!!
