When you forward the message, it runs it through ROT13 again, which unscrambles it. Somehow you have set up ROT13 as your default. ROT13 is used to transmit messages that are offensive. That way only those who are interested in such messages have to read them. It is not intended to provide any kind of security.

What sayest the master GURU? P.S. I'm looking forward to some Texas pix. Some VIRII infected computers put taglines like you describe. However it reads more like ROT13 (encoding/decoding) has been enabled and needs to be disabled... Unscrambling the above with ROT13, reads the following: quote Well folks, I hope I'm not opening up a can of worms on this. I searched the usenet archives on google about this, and nothing quite answered my question, so... /quote
