    True Jeff.

    I guess these people get a kick over ruining others.

    Anyway, just a note. In the future, if any of you received weird looking e-mails, delete them. If you really want to know what they are about, oh well, google is at your service.

    First lesson in knowing whether or not an e-mail is a spam >> the grammar used in the e-mail is a dead giveaway.

    Configure your mail client to strip messages of zip attachments.. as well as BMPs and other file types that are regularly used to get viruses on to systems. Or use a secure mail gateway that strips these attachments before forwarding the message to you with a warning. You can use a commercial one or build one of your one with linux, mailscanner & spamassassin
