[Spambayes] RE: VERY confusing...

[Robert K. Coe]

Is that peculiar to Outlook Express? We use Norton (Corporate Edition) with Outlook 2000, and the dialogue box doesn't interfere with downloading of messages. We almost never see the dialogue box anymore, since most viruses are now intercepted on the server. But before we started the server-side checking, I don't remember this ever being a problem. So maybe there is a Norton setting that applies. (I don't see one, but I'm at home now and can see only the compulsory settings that were applied to my laptop when I was last connected to our LAN.)
