This time it's very true. Happy99.exe is a virus that looks for e-mail
addresses in the mail folder of someone who got it, and automatically
sends itself in messages to random lists of recipients. You should be safe
if you received Tony's message as an "uuencoded" file (in ASCII). Yes,
delete the message. But if you got it as an attached .exe file, do not
even think about clicking on it.
