<VV> rebodied corvairs - attachment

[J R Read_HML]

Interesting....
Got one from Hank which passed through VV.  It appeared to be a forwarded 
message by the subject line.

It HAS AN ATTACHMENT - which made it through VV!

Now, THAT is not supposed to happen.  The attachment is named "replyAll.txt" 
and is 353 bytes.

I did NOT open it!

I'm headed for Iowa in about 20 minutes, so I'll leave this to the VV 
chairman to sort out what is going on.

Attachments (if any) are scanned with anti-virus software.

Later, JR
