Hi All,
I second that motion... Unless your virus scanner is _right_ up to date,
it will get through. several messages of got through our corporate
scanner until about 10am today. Fortunately we don't use windoze
locally, & a quick check of it using unix unzip showed it's true nature
(the zip file contains an executable - which can't be unzipped further-
very suspect, given that they have apparently zipped up text).
Please find text of a suspect mail below, (only attachment detail shown
as I see it in my text based mailer, no antisocial file attached!!!)
Judicious use of the delete key (with extreme prejudice) is advised...
careful with those mouse button(s),

Hello,
First, Very Sorry for my bad English.
Someone is sending your private e-mails on my address.
It's probably an e-mail provider error!
At time, I've got over 10 mails on my account, but the recipient are
you.
I have copied all the mail text in the windows text-editor for you &
zipped then.
Make sure, that this mails don't come in my mail-box again.
bye
