Not at all, they are ideal to use for email rules to sort into different folders. I get between 50-100 emails a day, and need to prioritise which i read immediatly, and which I leave until later. Cheers Brian At 12:53 16/10/2002, you wrote: >Personally, I think subject prefixes are annoying a

HI guys, it seems that I have a problem with the report function. How do I make the report file to SHOW WHICH files are being infected? The option -i -l report.txt does not yield much info. It only shows HOW MANY files are infected. But not WHICH files. Can someone throw me a bone here? cheers`
