SL> BK>    I have yet to hear about any Rexx or batch file sent to
SL> BK> anyone in e-mail that would do any damage automagically.

SL>and I've never heard of a .vbs opening automatically in
SL>Outlook either. user intervention required at all times.

News reports on CNN quoted the FBI as recommending you disable the
preview feature in Outlook in the case of the "Deadly Resume" chain
letter as it apparently would do its dirty work even if it was
previewed.

I actually got that email, I even opened the attachment, but of course
it was a bunch of binary junk so I just deleted it.  If I had found out
about it before I received it, I would have kept it and added it to my
library of viruses and worms I have caught in the wild.
