URGENT: Please Ignore my last E-Mail of approx 25 minutes ago.

[R.J.Mckeating at lboro.ac.uk]

No problem, as a university we use Exim for our mail server and it does stop and
search on any email with vb stuff atached, so it would not get through.  Even if
it did, like a lot of people nowadays my desk top is linux so it would not
affect it anyhow.
