Thank you too Frank for your response.  After reading ALL the
responses above, I feel better about the whole thing now.  I was
thinking I might have been OK, but I wanted to hear it from people
who know a lot more about this stuff than I do.  I do scan inbound
email per a setting in McAfee.  I don't know enough to agree or
disagree with you when you said ..."By the same token, email scanning
by an anti-virus is a complete waste of time and resources.", but
it's your opinion and I certainly can and do respect that.

Like I've stated in previous posts, I figure people here know more
about it than I do.  I value the thoughts, advice and info that you
(Bruce and Charlie in this thread too) have provided.

Thanks again and best regards... Gunner

McAfee especially has a long track record of destroying the OE message store if email scanning is turned on.
