I remember a while back onforwarding such a message and what I recall was
a)unreasonable fear b) ridiculous complacency expressed as derision
may i express the belief that if there is *anything in this, there is
nothing to greatly fear
opening an email will not wipe your hard disk because of the way that email
is transmitted... tricksy macros can be sent but I dont see how they can
transmit viruses
i would be careful over opening files *attached to an email especially if
they come over as executable files... it is executable files that do the
damage; be careful from whom you get those
