Mason, I'm betting you never intentionally sent out that message, right? 

Because I apparently inadvertantly sent out that message too... only I deleted 

it after reading it. Likewise the second note saying it was a hoax also was e-

mailed to people in my address book. Opening the message seems to trigger a 

mass-mailing without the 'sender' being aware of it. Forwarding it or replying 

to it replicates the trigger.



I suspect it is a means of getting addresses for spam. There is embedded code 

in the note which registers the receiving e-mail address as a valid address in 

a database somewhere out on the 'net. 



I've done a virus scan and spyware scan, and am now clean. And yes, I use the 

latest version of Norton, but this one seemed to have a way around it. A scan 

using Spyware Doctor found it and deleted it.



Regards,

Andrew
