Absolutely! Although any email with the subject "Win a Holiday" is
likely to be a confidence trick of some sort and wouldn't be worth
reading anyway! For further education on virus hoaxes see

P.S. The original email was also cross-posted to two separate mailing
lists, i.e. it had two mailing list addresses in the same mail item.
This should also be avoided as it can create confusing bounces when
those that reply are not subscribers to all those lists and do not trim
addressees accordingly.
