Hello! You can't get a virus from a simple email. If you get an attachment to the email and it's an executable and you run it then, of course, you are subject to possible infection. But a virus from a simple text message, no way.

Author: type-3-errors@umich.edu at SMTPGATE Date: 3/21/97 1:54 AM Hi, I just heard that there is some kind of E-mail virus going around entitled "PENPAL GREETINGS". It looks like a harmless message, but as you read it, it eats away at your hard drive. It also will send a copy of the virus to all of the E-mail addresses you've saved. So if anybody gets a message with this title, delete it as soon as possible. _____________________ Richard Steinburg wagen@pangea.ca
