Ugh. My server just quarantined a msg. (which I didn't open) purportedly
from Padraic Brown "elemtilas at arnet.com.ar"; Subject Re: Dictionary
Programs?.....it contained an attachment called: audio/x-midi
name=icq200b.exe.exe.

That's Padraic's email name-- Pablo _used to_ use arnet.com. Very strange.
