Subject: RE: Tech: Despicable Virus Alert
There are three threads on this so far. The bloody thing is even duplicating (even triplicating) at second hand now...

Anyway, here's what I posted on one of the others:

Well, I can't imagine opening any message saying "I love you". It helps being a curmudgeon sometimes.

I make a point of deleting unread any attachments from peoplke I don't know and trust. But presumably if this love thing turns up iot'll be attached to some message allegedly from someone who's got you in their address book, and whom you know?

And presumably the same thing could be done with more plausible messages, such as "see attached song file" or whatever. So if anybody sends me any attachments, they are going to get back an email from me checking that its ok, and I expect other people to do the same to me. What a drag.
