No, but I got three emails with viral attachments addressed as if they were

Got that one, and another variant so far:

FROM: "Net Mail Delivery Service"
TO: "Internet Receiver"
SUBJECT: Bug Letter

Content-Type: audio/x-wav; name="eleswgt.exe"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Id: vwpiniyrr

TVqQAAMAAAAEAAAA//8AALgAAAAAAAAAQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAA
snip
--------------------

Do not open the message - delete it.

Ya know, If I hadn't seen this thread, I would have simply deleteted
the messages without even a cursory glance -- as spam. You just made
me curious.

I *love* my ancient outdated email client that doesn't understand HTML
and isn't able to open attachments, automatically or otherwise, simply
displaying their raw ASCII content in the message body. g

I second that motion!

I read e-mail with a 1995 version of Eudora Lite.
I use Agent for usenet only.
I never install any of the Outlook bull****.

The only good thing about M$ dominance is that it provides a huge
number of victims for the virus writers and crackerz. They focus on
the latest useless M$ all-in-one swinging door and leave the rest of
us alone.

I agree. I use old software because the viruses are all aimed
at the newest stuff. Blaster worms and the like may crash
computers all over the world, but they don't touch mine.

I'm another ancient Eudora user. No not me, the email program. :-) It
doesn't have a clue what to do with an attachment other than putting it
in the designated attachment directory, awaiting further inspection by
me. I just delete them unless I'm expecting a specific attachment from
someone I know. I've been on the Net for about 8-years without any virus
protection software and have never had a virus or worm installed on my
system.
