Subject: How to stop spreading virus

FYI:
Low tech wins again.

To avoid spreading computer viruses, create a contact in your email address book with the name !0000 with no email address in the details. This contact will then show up
as your first contact.If a virus attempts to do a "send all" on your contact list, your pc will put up an error message saying that: "The Message could not be sent. One or more recipients do not have an e-mail address. Please check your Address Book and make sure all the recipients have a valid e-mail address."

You click on OK and the offending (virus) message would not have been sent to anyone. Of course no changes have been made to your original contacts list.

The offending (virus) message may then be automatically stored in your "Drafts" or "Outbox" folder. Go in there and delete the offending message.

Problem is solved and virus is not spread.

Try this and pass on to your email contacts.
