This is how it looks when it comes in from my Yahoo group Re: {Disarmed} Re: [C-R-A-F-T] - Its seems to be from me and it seems to be since I changed providers. I with with Optusnet and am now with Virgin broadband. Its driving me nuts....thanks for any help. Khris

Answer 1

sounds like virus protection to me. where is the subject line you're seeing this? e-mail? if so, what provider? and what provider is it being sent from? sounds like HTML might had been removed, or a virus or a graphic- depends on e-mail settings they 'disarm' it so it's safe for you to open

Answer 2

[DISARMED]: This subject tag will be displayed when possibly malicious HTML tags/code/scripts/etc. have been disabled or "disarmed" in the email message.  If you really want to read the message, since it has been disarmed you can safely open the email but I would be very cautious about opening any more messages from whoever sent it.  If you know the person who sent the message, you might let them know they possibly have a virus on their computer.  If you don't know whoever sent it, it probably was intended to execute a virus when opened.
