Got a message the other day and dumped it into JUNK mail bin....but it
contained attached files and a lot of email addresses, so I had a closer
look to see if it had any mailbomb viruses. It has all the hall marks of a
typical chain letter but the catch offer of $5000 or a holiday in
Disney.....???? was very strange. The other factor was that it seemed like
a Microsoft experiment, EMAIL tracking system!!!!!...
....but where was the message ids or x- items in the header. (The idiots
who passed it on to me failed to check and any email tracking codes were
lost
somewhere in the transit.
ah well...... no chance of the $5000 then :-)
