John,

Folks who send this type of email to people are taking advantage of those
who do not know how viruses work.  It is -physically impossible- to catch a
virus from an email.  Can't happen.  But what these msgs do accomplish is
scaring people and causing lost productivity to those who believe it.

You can catch aids off toilet seats too...but I'm not that acrobatic. (-;
