>A virus in mail? Really? Well, a virus embedded in an email. Ie, a macro that automatically runs as soon as you open the Word document.

Unless, someone has ported MS Word across to it along with VBA (Visual Basic for Applications). WinNT, yes. Infact, any platform that runs MS Word with VBA macros enbled. As someone pointed out, Melissa is supposed to access the Outlook address book (which is also part of the MS Office now) and send an email to the first 50 addresses. Easy solution: don't read any word documents you didn't expect to come along. Or turn off the running of word macros. Justin
