I obviously had and I have already deleted that attachment - obviously it is
still somewhere in my computer,  It was definitely not meant for you.  It
originated from a G.Halliday of New Zealand who is on  the Austronesian
Languages List.

What happened as a result of the virus is that YOUR email TO ME showed on my
screen as a message FROM ME TO YOU - but
I never expected it would actually get sent as being from me to you! Thanks
for not sending the attachment back  along with my supposed message.

Sorry about it -  you didn't open it, did you?  I'm sure you'd know
better than to do so.  I was very trusting when I opened that attachment
because it was sent by a colleague.  Now I know better.

Thanks, Frank.  I would appreciate some advice on how to handle this
problem.  I know my son had put in an anti-virus program in this computer
but I am still in the dark as to how it works.

Regards, Pat
