Yes. I thought of Jay too. Attachments however IMHO should not be
delivered over a network especiallly those of the microsoft variety.

I don't think however this would mean we would be void of Jay's
messages - only a slight delay. For example, if a text message went over
a certain size it would be checked for viruses before being sent out
across the whole network.

My 2 cents anyway, affect me not personally. :-)
