Janice
I have checked with our IT department and they conclude it hasn't come from
my PC, which is virus clean according to VirusScan. I haven't sent this
message or an attachment entitled mew-mew. I will copy this to the mail-base
now to check if anyone else has seen it. Perhaps someone more IT literate
than I can explain what the 'hacker' has managed to do.
Regards
Steve

Steve, it contained an attachment entitled "mew-mew"
and the comment "waiting for your response". It may be
that someone is using the website to attach viruses
and then sending them out as though they were from
members of the Forum. This happened last year with an
e-mail from a colleague in Whipps Cross. Thank God for
virus splatters! Perhaps you ought to warn the Forum
not to open any attachment allegedly from you with
"mew-mew" in the title.
