Yeesh. The *worm* sent the message, just like with happy99. All
poor Fred did was open it, which in some mailers is automatic...
That is the nature of a worm; it sends itself on. Get used to it.
And make sure you never, ever, load a Word/PowerPoint/Excel doc
in such a way that the Auto macros can run... which is real hard
to avoid...
