Subject:DON'T OPEN ATTACHMENTS

I have just received an e-mail with an attachment that clearly seems to
contain a virus.  The return address was arabic-l at byu.edu, which is the
address from which Arabic-L messages are sent.  This is just a reminder
that ANYONE can fake a return e-mail address; just because you get a
message with arabic-l at byu.edu as the return address, that does not mean
that it is from Arabic-L, or that it is safe to open the attachment.
Arabic-L has a policy not to send attachments, so if you get something
with one you can be sure it is not safe to open.
A word to the wise.
