doesn't seem real probable. i've been mailed a whole lotta warnings about
the dreaded "holiday" virus and have yet to see any evidence - either
documented or otherwise - that supports it. i don't really know how email
virii are supposed to work since they usually require some kind of
executable device to attach themselves onto.

incidentally, if i were distributing dangerous virii i would send them out
as virus warnings - preferably from an AOL or hotmail address. just a
thought.
