G'day Vitali,
Thanks for your advice I'll look into it
I was thinking about it last night and figured that there must be messages
in the Q. A quick check showed that one such message was Qd to send a
couple of jpgs to dozens of CCd addresses!
That does look like a virus on one of my internal clients...(using their
address book)
What say you?

Keith
