Re: [APML] Attn "newborn" on APML

[Michael Gartland <mgartlan@iconn.net>]

Hey...quick question...I am using Netscape and have the auto java run and auto
script run turned off. I have gotten a few "empty" emails in my inbox over the
last week, including the one from newborn. but I have deleted them without a
problem and my Norton (only a couple of months old) never activited or gave a
peep....any chance I am at risk...or should I be ok?
