FW: Please read - VIRUSES !!!

[Jouko Lindstedt]

Just a short explanation for those who have not come accross the "good
times" hoax before. The warning message _itself_ is the "virus" in the
sense that it continues to reappear, it won't stop circulating for a long
time, and nobody knows who started it (as far as I know). There are no
real viruses that could spread by ordinary e-mail files. (Of course a
real virus could be coded as an executable attachment to an e-mail
message, or as a Word text file with macros in it, but in both cases
the recipient should do much more than simply read the message.)
