Ok PJS, I just got the post back from Yahoo and it had the two image files as attachments.  I do not know where they came from; they are not infections however.  I opened them to see what was in them; one contains a long narrow  horizontal rectangle that is light and surrounded by a black field and has nothing in it while the other is a small square of a similar nature.  I am only getting this with regards to this mailing list.  I am wondering if the fact that I am sending the messages as HTML rather than plain text may be the cause.  Is this list a plain text only list?  Let's see what happens to this post since I changed it from HTML to plain text.

What are the two jpg files that are delivered with your emails (titled img001 and img002)? They have been attached to your two most recent posts on this site, dated today 12/13/08. Possible infection???
 
 
I really do not know since I have not attached any files – jpg or otherwise to my posts.  Moreover, so far they do not seem to appear in or with my posts when I receive them from Yahoo on my email reader  as individual emails.  I will see what happens when I get this post back from the list.  I do not know what to tell you regarding the possibility of an infection.  I would play it safe and not open them.  By the way, thanks for clarify your references to  a knowledgebase and readme files.  Being involved with several forums and mailing lists on various web sites, references to such things without specifying the sources can get confusing – especially when the references are being used in discussions where several programs or hardware from multiple sources are being spoken of in the same discussion.
 
I would offer to check with my contacts at Microsoft to verify what I understand; but it is the season when everyone is on vacation and will not be back until after the first of the year.  My original understanding was similar to yours; but it has been pointed out to me by several people whose knowledge and expertise I respect and trust that  this understanding is incorrect.  The Windows operating system will allow for separate profiles for each of the monitors in a multiple monitor system if the video card supports multiple simultaneous LUTs; it will not support this if the card does not support separate independent LUTs and monitors, which may be the situation being described in the readme as well as in the knowledgebase.  I would think that if the OS was the key limitation and source of the problem, you would not under Windows be able to use different profiles for monitors in a multi-display system where individual separate cards were installed for each monitor; but since you can use separate profiles for  each of the monitors in such a system where they are attached to their own video cards, I  suspect the problematic restriction is with the video card capabilities.

The readme file you receive when you download Spyder3Elite (it is an .rtf file dated November 2008)

The knowledgebase on the Datacolor site - the discussions are dated October 2008
 
 
 
I also have a question for you - Laurie:
