Re viruses, every message like this makes me paranoid. Despite having opened
no attachments, I have run the Bugbear fix yet again and I am still clean.
If you know someone who is infected, don't hint- send them an email and let
them know.
Does anyone spread a virus knowingly, except the originator?
If I have a virus, I want to know as soon as possible so I can fix it and
not infect anyone else.
Not letting a person know does nobody any favours.
I regularly change rich text to plain text - I think we have to sacrifice
elaborate fonts and formatting for the sake of everyone's safety....
Kind regards,
grasshopper

my sysop has informed me that if I get one more poetically transmitted
infection from consorting with your good selves he will block my access to
computer facilities.
I shan't name names. Either you know who you are or your computer is
seriously syphilitic and will find out soon enough.
 Please can we all be a lot more careful. Make sure you know who you'rewith.
 Don't open unexpected attachments any more often than you put your hands
down a stranger's knickers. And if you know you're the promiscuous type,
wear a condom. Norton is the gold standard. If you can't afford it, then
conduct your affairs via a third party such as Hotmail.
 Oh , yes, and use plain text as your default for messages as worm eggs
thrive in html (a bit like toxoplasma gondii in dogshit...)
