You cannot get viruses through email this way, I believe. Something very similar was posted to a web designers list that I'm on, and it was argued that this was a hoax... the name of the virus from that message was called "Good Times"... I will check on this... but I believe this is really a load of crap...

It is possibly to send a virus as an attachment. If you don't download the attachment and execute it, there is no way your computer will be infected with a virus. A Macro virus can be embedded into a word document, so don't open any unknown word documents recieved by e-mail. The e-mail that you recieved was written as a joke, by a person with a very limited understanding of virii. >> If you read it , it will be to late, "TROJAN HORSE" virus will infect your hard disk >> and will delete all the files. A trojan horse is not a virus, its a type of a virus that diguised as a program ( anti-virus program , or any other type of program that you might run often ). Once you execute and keep executing that program - your computer will be infected and the virus will spread.
