OK.  I guess I'll eat crow for breakfast this morning.  I waded through old
warnings and discovered the following:

============================================================================

The following e-mail messages were found to have viruses in them:

    Report: MailScanner: Found dangerous IFrame tag in HTML message

I didn't think I was getting iframe warnings, but obviously I am, so I guess
I was just asleep at the wheel.  What else is new? <g>

Sorry, & thanks for the quick responses...
