Re: A solution for WIndows Mail error 0x800C013A

Where do you see a message in this newsgroup saying it *must* be an
anti-virus software problem? I don't remember seeing that comment, and I
have read every message in the past few months. None of the experts here say
that it *must* be an anti-virus problem. They quite often say it could be or
that it likely is, but they don't say it *must* be.
