Hi paleonetters,

Although the following may not apply in the present case, here is some
prevention in case a virus is sending itself stealthily using your e-mail
list:
Create an e-mail entry and type as name just some zeros (0000). Nothing
else.
Return.
The entry will occur in the first line of all Your e-mail addresses. If the
virus is trying to send e-mails to 'all', a warning will pop up, that one of
the e-mails has a wrong or missing direction.
The rest is finding the virus and delte it on Your computer.

Well, this is not my invention, and I did not have problems so far, so I do
not know whether this works. Hopefully, it does help.

Cheers,

Niko
