Folks at world

I regularly get viruses sent to me - but I never open them of course.
The only "outside" list of correspondents I have are on these lists so I 
have to assume that they come from some unfortunate persons on these 
lists.   However, I have been attempted-zapped by a virus which has a 
rather cunning presentation which again was nicely blocked by Mrs Norton's 
little son, Avey.  The purpose of this missive is to warn against this 
particularly cunning format.  The email purports to be an advisory of a 
non-delivered email.  So the recipient may think "Oh, I wonder which 
message I sent that was not delivered"  and open the dreaded virus infected 
file that accompanies the failure of delivery message.  The standard 
warning applies DO NOT OPEN ATTACHMENTS WITHOUT PRE-SCANNING FOR VIRUS'.

Regards
Barrie
