I'm glad this Email was sent out. I did not open an Email attachment by
this person, and quite frankly can't remember even getting this... BUT...
after reading it and then about doing a "find files" search for it.. there
it was on my computer!! I don't recall getting any notices from my Virus
Software that it was there. So I'd advise everyone to search for this file
and then delete it.
