[Ham-Computers] Recent changes to QTH list messages?

[Jay Eimer]

Maybe, but not this time.  You see, I can use web-mail to view it online - it was an HTML message with an embedded ad at the bottom.  The ad was a graphic.  The graphic was carrying a virus.  In the web-mail, the graphic showed (legit) AND the graphic's file is there as an attachment.  I was able to scan it and determine that it was actually a virus.
 
The email was a seemingly legit "for sale" posting - on the forsale-swap list.

   Verizon holds the record for not delivering the most perfectly good E-mail
because
it suspected virus or spam, your ISP could have been wrong more easily than
qth.net
propagating a virus.
