    To the list, so they don't blame nicole, as I've seen on other lists
(or was it this one?)

    Nicole, you've got a virus! It affects your email when you open in so
that every time you go on line, it randomly chooses addresses from your
address list and emails itself out. Don't anyone open this. There is info
on the web (somewjere - I don't remember the URL but a search for Happy
virus should find it). It is fairly easy to fix, IIRC, and doesn't cause
any real harm except for the annoying spam and any flames that may
provoke.
