[il-talk] Fwd: Job Leads from U. S. House of Representatives

Sat Jul 28 19:09:58 UTC 2012

Hi Edwin,

Some of the attachments were images. There was one attachment with the 
extension .eml, which is the file type associated with messages that are 
forwarded as attachments. Many people like to forward messages as 
attachments so readers don't have to listen to the often numerous 
addresses in the header. They are about as safe to open as emails are. 
In Thunderbird, suc attachments are opened automatically and pasted into 
the message, as are text files. I have pasted below, the text of what 
was in that attachment. It may be missing images or links the message 
would have included.

Cordially,
Bill
