Sorry to come in with a request like this, especially when I am mostly silent on this list; but in a recent e-mail from Michael Norman which included two attached files, I found the following message inserted at the top by my Internet provider: ==================== Warning: This message has had one or more attachments removed Warning: (XYWrite.app.tam). Warning: Please read the "VirusWarning.txt" attachment(s) for more information. ==================== In addition, the file mentioned (XYWrite.app.tam) was removed, and replaced by a virus warning message. They seem to do this occasionally, and it really annoys me when the removed file is in fact legitimate. I've written to my Internet provider asking them if they can discontinue doing this with my e-mail, and also if they can send me the file which was removed. I'm not all that optimistic that they will be willing or able to comply with the first of these requests, and very pessimistic about their ability to comply with the second. Meanwhile, although I have been mostly silent here (largely because I have no expertise in XyWrite to share with anyone), I am interested in the program, and like to receive any files like this which may assist me one day. I wonder if I could ask if someone would please be kind enough to send this file to me with a disguised name (maybe ending in ".txt") which will fool the server into letting the file through. (This may work, and may not: I do seem to recall one occasion when they wouldn't let through even something named to end in ".txt". But it's worth a try in this case.) Or alternatively, is the file available on a web site anywhere? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. And if my Internet provider can't or won't comply with my two requests, I am going to seriously look at moving somewhere else - even though I've been with them for over 7 years with a time-unlimited account, and they've made quite a bit of money out of my custom. In my opinion, this behaviour on their part is paternalistic, interfering, unacceptable, and just quite beyond the pale.
