well put gary,best not to encourage these fools that make up these
hoaxes  by sending them out. also check out the mcafee homepage under
virus hoaxes and see this one listed there... by the way if sending
a virus was possible this way your machine would have been eaten alive
by now just receiving the message.. viruses can be send with e mails
as a attachment but have never seen one as a email itself
please dont consider this a flame only friendly advice.
