Just an FYI.

I've seen a large increase in the number of emails coming in claiming to be from DHL and supposedly containing invoices or notifications of shipping problems. These are viruses/malware and should be deleted without opening them. While I'm sure many/most know this, I thought it important to point out. While we usually know if we've ordered something, as the Holiday Season approaches, people may be sending us stuff we didn't order and were unaware of. People are more easily sucked into opening these emails claiming delivery problems around this time of year. Additionally, I get stuff at work all the time that my wife ordered for herself and I didn't know about beforehand.

BTW, if you use Outlook Express and have your "Preview Pane" turned on, you are opening the email as soon as you click on it. The "Preview Pane" is the lower right-hand window below the subject list that shows the contents of an email as soon as you click on the subject. You therefore can't even click on an email to delete it without opening it as they happen simultaneously.

You should turn off your "Preview Pane" by going to View|Layout and unchecking the Show Preview Pane box.
