Hello Roland, all,
Did you check the attachment?
NOTE: An executable program which was attached to your email
has been automatically removed.
(snip)
In any case, I know you mean well, but DO NOT attach executables to posts
to this mailing list, ever! If you want to alert people, and tell them
about such a fix tool, please point them to a reliable source on the Web
where they can download it.
People should NEVER trust such tools that come in by email.

I always wondered about the meaning of life. So I looked it
up in the dictionary under "L" and there it was - the meaning
of life. It was not what I expected. - Dogbert
