Aehm, you might have overread one point:
There IS a virus, using MS Mail to send infected fileattaches !
The "E-mail Virus", as you wrote, needs a little better definition. I know 
ou
wrote about all the "do not read ..." virus-warnings, and if you define this 
as "E-mail Viruses", you are absolutly right, but how would you call the 
other one ?
