Sally,
I received several emails with the same virus from a member of this list.
When I replied to the individual, I removed the underscore preceding the
email address, and the email appeared to transmit normally ... at least it
didn't bounce. My software removed the attachments so no harm has come to
my machine .. so far.
You might try that approach to let the person know that his/her machine is
infected.
Has anyone received more than 7 infected emails? It seems that Sinclair
holds the record thus far. He always seems to be at least a couple of steps
ahead of most people. ;-)
Aye,
Mel of South Carolina
