Re: {Filename?} RE: Turning off read-only in XP

["Michael Edwards" mje@xxxxxxxx]

   Well, if the most irritating thing hasn't just happened....
   First of all, my Internet provider seems to have altered the subject line
in Paul Ambos's recent message, since I feel almost sure the part in braces and
the braces themselves weren't there originally, but inserted somewhere along the
way.
   Next, the attachments in the e-mail have been removed.
   The following was inserted into the body of the e-mail:

>Warning: This message has had one or more attachments removed
>Warning: (DArchBit.ZIP, DArchBit.BAT, DArchBit.CMD).
>Warning: Please read the "VirusWarning.txt" attachment(s) for more
>information.

   In place of the attachments is a new attachment, a text file, giving me a
more detailed version of this, and warning me that batch files are often
malicious (as if I didn't already know that!), and that the attached zip file
DArchBit.ZIP was "on the list of unacceptable attachments for this site" (as if
they should decide for me which attachments I consider it acceptable or not to
receive).
   Did a similar thing happen to anyone else? Is this acceptable behaviour
for my Internet provider?

   Would anyone be able to think of a way I could receive these files, and
would anyone be willing, please, to send them to me in a way that will work?
Perhaps renaming the files to end in something else (such as ".txt") and putting
the real extension onto the end of the main part, and I can then rename them
back? Or are the files on a XyWrite web site where I can go and get them?
   I would be grateful if anyone can help me with this, please. I know I have
largely fallen away from active participation on this list, and rarely have much
to say, because of my previously-mentioned difficulties in using XyWrite on my
current computer arrangement; so maybe I'm not in a good position to ask for
such a favour. But I do have a interest in the program, and hope to use it one
day, and I do want to keep up with any resources or files that are posted to the
list, for possible future use. This list is obviously a valuable resource for
getting information about the program, and I do save all posts in case I might
one day need the information.

   My thanks to anyone who can think of a way around this and who can send me
the files successfully.

             Regards,
             Michael Edwards.
