Now it's doing it to Moorons posts.
If I hit ''properties'' , I now see ''line 4'' (references) is

way
long.
But, I can't delete them.

There is no 'open with- WP' option. I'm using Win-95.

Heck...there's an easier way than that..just open a new message and

type
Katy needs a bigger dink into the Subject, copy and paste what

you're
replying to into the message, and start over...

...and there are anti-virus programs to stop that! When the next OS arrives..
Windows Longhorn... they will be writing viruses to target that as well.

You shouldn't be online without a good anti-virus program. I use Norton
Systemworks, ZoneAlarm Pro and I'm behind a Router on Cable. Auto-updates
are on.

It's not recommended to run two antivirus apps on the same computer at the
same time... it causes mucho conflicts.
