There is a chance to down load a virus with just the text file if you = use programs like Word or WordPerfect to read the message and the = messages includes macros. For example, I read me e-mail using Microsoft = Office 97 Outlook and Outlook uses Word 7 to read me e-mails. When the = text calls for exercising the macro it could happen. You see the macro = IS what you EXECUTE. For that reasons Word 7 gives you a 'Virus Alert' = warning message if you start the program by double clicking a document = that you want to re-load. It's too bad, but we have to face that we live in a rather sick world!

It is a hoax, as is the Good Times, etc... The Pen pal, Good = Times, etc. WARNING MESSAGE ITSELF IS THE VIRUS. You just participated in the virus. The virus is... to see how many people will send the VIRUS = WARNING MESSAGE to other people. These warning messages are sent forever = throughout the internet until everyone finally catches on. This can take years. You will never ever receive the Pen pals message. It doesn't exist! If it = did, reading it could not have any effect on your boot tracks, or anything = else in your computer. A message in not a program. A program has to EXECUTE = in order to alter your system. The kind of e-mail messages we deal with do = not contain executable programs, macros, or other means of wreaking havoc. = This is no different than the TOTEM. Just say no. Do not send it on. Stop it dead in its tracks. Push delete!
