Just as well they did not have to back up their claims...I was particularly taken with 'how to measure your wife for an ironing table!.....and that bread advert looks like I find in my Van sometimes, didn't realize it was that healthy!...............still....probably as much BS still exists with today's adverts....just sneakier!.....lol...Hoo Roo

Paul.

How did you open the attachment? Years ago a .msg file was a way of sending a virus via an email. I got caught on Windows once. Now I'm using Apple, I haven't had any success with .msg.

Double clicked on the link and a warning came up which I would normally cancel, but on this occaission decided to trust GF as most of his links come up with the warning.

The .msg extension is for Microsoft Outlook files. Who still has that ancient programme. Can you please convert it to something that will open in VLC media player.
