OK but My e-mail was addressed to the ham that I was sending it to at
Ameritech.net (?)

It went from my machine to my ISP (small local) then to Ameritech.

I had sent that file(as an attachment) to at least 4 others on that day.

The last time i sent it to the intended recipient it went thru.

It is not uncommon these days for people to 'oversecure' their machines the
Super paranoid run programs to try to protect them selves against the
unknown.
