RE: [HCDX] Attachments to mails

["Zacharias Liangas" <zliangas@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

IF your system is a priveate , it is very essential to use a  more dedicated 
email program 
I use Pegasus (Winpmail)  which is free program of nearly commercial 
specifications with mail lists , too  many email filters by which you can also 
program an antispam filter 
It does NOT run any attachements  unless in case you run it
