Anthrax Virus

Hi,

(in true copy paste format from an internal mail I sent in work) -

There is a new computer virus called Anthrax out just a few hours ago. It is doing the rounds with the title - 'Anthrax Info'. This mail contains an attachment which under no circumstances should be opened as it contains a virus payload.

It is possible that this mail could be sent with varying titles but the rule remains the same - should you receive email from a source whom you normally receive mail from or an email with an unexpected attachment, please delete the mail immediately.

Surely you mean "should you receive email from a source whom you don't normally receive mail from"

I'm going to get Gambler to flog you to death with wet spaghetti the next time he sees you.

It should also be noted that this worm has bugs in it which means it doesn't actually work, so people shouldn't get overly worried about it arriving in their mailboxes.
