Hey folks. Sorry if you've already seen this, but my Net Admin just passed
this along. He (they) believe it to be a valid warning (not a hoax).
FYI

Subject: Virus Warning
If you receive an e-mail titled "It Takes Guts to Say 'Jesus'
DO NOT OPEN IT. It will erase everything on your hard drive. This
information was announced yesterday morning from IBM; AOL states that
this is a very dangerous virus, much worse than "Melissa", and that
there is NO remedy for it at this time.
Some very sick individual has succeeded in using the re-format function
from Norton Utilities causing it to completely erase all documents on
the hard drive. It has been designed to work with Netscape Navigator
and Microsoft Internet Explorer. It destroys Macintosh and IBM
compatible computers. This is a new, very malicious virus and not
many people know about it.
Pass this warning along to EVERYONE in your address book and please
share it with all your on-line friends ASAP so that this threat may
be stopped. Please practice cautionary measures and tell anyone that
may have access to your computer. Forward this warning to everyone
that might access the internet.
