In a message dated 97-09-11 19:02:58 EDT, you write: << Ch'yeah right, email viruses don't exist. I didn't read the whole of that thing, but take it from me, you can't get a virus from a piece of email arriving at your in-box, you have to physically run an attachment (.exe file) to start anything up, and i don't know anyone stupid enough (i hope) to do that, upon receiving a program anonymously in an email. >> Actually, my roommate is big on this sorta shite, and he says that they're starting to come up w/viruses that can activate as soon as you read the mail....probably nothing to worry about for a while, but some food for thought
