        ARGH! That's exactly like me emailing you a raw .EXE that's infected,
and asking that you run it. That's not the same thing as it transparently
executing itself, which is what these email hoaxes claim. There *IS* one in
MS-Mail that will infect upon opening it, though. Hit Frisk Software's home
page, and then read the 2.26 Notes, and you'll see what I mean.

        Not anymore... (BTW, Lotus Notes viruses are next (well, Domino
viruses, actually, since there is no more "Notes" to speak of)).
... Programmers do it in iteration :)
