I can't really understand how someone can react in that manor. More over I
can't understand why so many (according to reports) here in Sweden (and
other non-english speaking countries) would open the message - why would
someone tell them that they love them in english? (A "better" Outlook virus
would send the subject in diffrent languages depending on wheter it's .com
.se etc.)

Can someone please explain to me *why* people (especially big corporations)
continue to use Outlook? If they wouldn't use Outlook they wouldn't spread
the virus to anyone and therefor their mail system has a much higher
ability to withstand the mails.
