Hmmm. I'm always _very_ suspicious of that request. It nearly
always means "this is a bogus virus report" and the action of
sending it to all your contacts is what constitutes the actual
'virus' - by clogging up the mail servers. I notice that this
posting has been sent to a large number of addresses including
the previous sender (Chris Haddock), & that strengthens my suspicion.
