Hmmm. I ran my virus scanner against yr msg twice yesterday, and it came up
clean. But I assumed that Pomona had stripped out the offending file(s),
because they cite one of them by name, ZQ.SCR, and it is not part of your msg
as received here...

I got four attachments:
an HTML copy of your text msg [no need to send those!]
the "X-III" icon in JPG format (XYCON.JPG)
the "X-III" icon in Windows ICO format (FAVICON.ICO)
an (illegally-named?) file called OUTLOOK..BMP, which is the "X-III" icon in
BMP format

I also don't see any "rich-text" version of your msg, as received here...
