Barb is NOT sending them -- it is coming via the virus.  The scary thing is,
I've gotten e-mails from people I don't know (w/ an attachment), but the
original sender to the person I don't know is from someone I DO know, and it
has an old (in one case, over a year old) e-mail from the first person.  This
is truly the worst virus I've seen.  Goodness knows what could be mailed out
under this one.  I trust all personal e-mails we've all sent to all our
friends have been ones we would want on the second page of the Chicago
Tribune......because they well can be e-mailed abroad by this virus.

All of them come w/ an attachment -- usually a zip file, and most of them in
the neighborhood of 50000 bytes.  The old Klez virus just sent them along w/
the attachment and no messages.  But this bugbear virus sends a legitimate
looking e-mail along w/ it.

Yowser!

Jan -- who doesn't THINK she has a virus, except for the one that causes
sneezing....
