Have we identified/purged the source of these?
It's surprising to me that there have ONLY been two, usually when a
machine is sending these it sends LOTS of them. Must be a dial up

PS although this is an annoyance, at least the stripped attachments
keep it limited to just that. I knew it was not from you without even
opening the message.... Still it does seem goo to figure a way to auto
remove these (validate the senders IP?).
