Subject: Warning e-mail virus (fwd)
 
[Moderator's note: many of us have seen the message about a virus
disguised as an email message with header "xxx-1". However, what follows
is a description of yet another of these nasties....I believe a moderated
list is unlikely to pass on such a virus as it would crash the moderator's
home disk before it could be forwarded, as we read everything before
passing it on.  I will check with our computer guys.]
 
This is the second email virus message that I have received today, and for
a different virus, too.  The other one comes as a message with "xxx-1" in the
Subject line and SHOULD NOT BE READ!!!  Apparently, if you open the
message, it will eat everything.  This message should be deleted without
reading it.  Forward this to everyone you know!
