Dear Mr. Piesik,

I talked to my friend who is computer guru with the phone company and
was assured that there is currently no known way for a virus to exist in
an email file, because viruses are executable programs (.exe,.com,etc.)
and email is text.  I understand that most of these rumors are practical
jokes done by hackers who are frustrated by the above situation, and
whose motives are similar to the ones that cause them to make viruses in
the first place!



Side note to Doremus "Is this better?"
