Hello Roland, all,

Did you check the attachment?

         NOTE:  An executable program which was attached to your email
         has been automatically removed.
         (snip)

In any case, I know you mean well, but DO NOT attach executables to posts 
to this mailing list, ever!  If you want to alert people, and tell them 
about such a fix tool, please point them to a reliable source on the Web 
where they can download it.
People should NEVER trust such tools that come in by email.

  - Michael

     I always wondered about the meaning of life.   So I looked it
     up in the dictionary under "L" and there it was - the meaning
     of life.  It was not what I expected.                  - Dogbert
