Hi Folks,

Apologies for multiple notes in HTML format.  I've been victimized by M$
yet again:

1.  I have my settings for LISTSERVEs set to "plain text", M$ Outlook
ignored that.

2.  I had set the distribution list to "Private" - M$ Outlook ignored
that too.

3.  My connection (over a 144K wireless link) to my SMTP server timed
out several times while M$ Outlook was sending that note to a large
address list.  What does M$ Outlook do in such a case?  Resume sending
from the point of failure?  Of course not, it resent the note over and
over again with those at the head of the list receiving multiple copies
while those at the end received none.

MSBlast is definitely "not a blast", I've been contacted by at least two
dozen friends and colleagues that have it (I had removed it and was
downloading the patch when I got infected again).  I'm usually behind a
firewall, but not when I'm travelling (as I am today).

-Mike

Enough, already. This is the third copy of this that I have gotten via
the VM list. If I didn't know better, I would think that Michael was
mounting his own DOS attack. :-)

Hi Folks,

I wanted to give you a heads-up that there is a virus currently
spreading like wildfire on the internet.  It is the W32/Lovsan.worm
(a.k.a. "msblast.exe") worm.  You can find information and additional
links about it here:
