The older e-mail viruses only worked when you opened the attachment that
carried the virus code. The newest virus (Bubbleman) is activated somehow
when you highlight the incoming message that includes the attachment
containing the virus. Scarey. (What I heard on NPR this morning suggests
that this might work in this way only if you use Outlook for your e-mail,
but I'm not sure.j)
