Warning e-mail viruses (Fwd)
Dear RADSAFERS
In the shadow of all the chatter about what, and why certain uses
of the listserver are deemed appropriate, I reluctantly send the
following. I received a message of similar content from MIT as well.
Picture in your mind a big dog with it's tail between it's legs.
Such will be the feeling I'll have a nanosecond after I hit the
go button.

A virus is circulating on the Internet. If you receive a message with
the header "xxx-1" DO NOT READ IT. Delete immediately or your disk will
require treatment by a virus-scanner. I have had two copies of this
message this morning (Sunday) already, but was warned by an early
morning phone call from a friend who got hit.
