Subject: Warning...new computer virus making the rounds
Date: Sun, 28 Mar 1999 23:53:38 EST
------=_NextPart_000_1461c395_41569990$6baf7199
Content-type: text/plain

In case you haven't heard, there's a new computer virus that targets
people that use Microsoft Outlook as your primary email reader. The
story is on http://www.cnn.com/TECH/computing/9903/28/email.virus/.

In case the story gets taken down soon (and because this virus could get
ugly), I've added it as an attachement to this message. Its not known if
it will stop with Outlook, so please pass this along to people you know,
too.

there's a new computer virus that targets

I know I'm totally immune... Although it might be fun to see how Star Office
