Don't know as my computer won't run eml files and my firewall refuses
to let it in anyway.

One of the tenents of safe computing. EMLs are not safe.

The answer lies in whether one finds "Let's tow a ski boat!!.eml" to
be a 'funny' file name or not.

http://filext.com/detaillist.php?extdetail=EML
Note: .EML files with "funny" names in multiple folders implies
the Nimda worm. OE removes access to attachments using this file
extension. However, using forward on the tool bar in OE the
attachment shows as an envelope that if clicked opens the
attachment (use caution if you do this, it could be a worm). Note:
someone sends you a file with this extension.

===Anyway it's a JetRanger trying to help a stranded power boat so the boat
crew hands the chopper passenger the tow line and ties it to left skid. The
chopper tries to pull the boat but gets in too much of a nose down angle and
can't straighten out or level off and rolls to the left and crashes. Can't
tell if any injuries (besides pride) but interesting video.

Smart firewall. I, on the other hand, can't get to it because my news
server refuses to allow binaries in non-binary groups. However, last time
this came around I grabbed a copy:

Is as safe as any web content - 92 people have viewed it on my web site
and nobody has complained yet.

"They weren't" will answer that question correctly 85 out of 100 times with
no prior knowledge of the subject at hand.
