I, also, got message from this sender to a reply to a post on this list.
Was really TEMPTED to open it, but sent message to that address and it
bounced, so I deleted all. Thanks

Subject: READ THIS EMAIL FIRST
Warning to List Members
I just received a virus email from one of the list members.
DO NO OPEN the file in any messages you receive one from:
e.h.yarbrough(a)worldnet.att.net (E YARBROUGH) See below info.
Dear email friend:
Some of you know how I hate Hoaxes--so I am careful NOT to forward things
that I don't know are true. Well, the message below is the truth. We
have
had at least seven of these virused messages come to us in the last
two
weeks. And don't think you are immune to it--three of them came from
computers in Marion, OH.
Some of them have two file extensions--as Cheryl warns about below. Two
that
we received from Marion had the odd TO: address with the underline
mark in
front of the address. Like _rkeggan(a)AOL.COM. The below was prepared
by
my daughter, Cheryl from information on Virus Alert software
companies'
web
sites.
Be forewarned. Bob Keggan
