Elle is correct.
You don't need to click this virus. The virus does not do a whole lot to
your computer.. it sure sends a ton of mail to the list tho.. all packed
with a free copy of itself... Nimda.. is Admin spelled backwards... it is a
virus aimed at getting past computer administrators.. it's working...
Click on VIEW; LAYOUT and then click the hide preview pane box... if you see
a preview of messages before you click on them.. that message is OPEN.. so
the nimda virus can open itself... it is self extracting.. be careful!

Dear Fellow Campbells & Others,
If you haven't heard about this virus on the news, read about it now at
http://www.mcafee.com/anti-virus/viruses/nimda/default.asp?cid=2444 or
http://vil.mcafee.com/dispVirus.asp?virus_k=99209&
This is NOT a hoax. My husband is at this moment working late at the
computer center where he woks because Nimda got past the anti-virus
protection they had installed yesterday. He will probably be there all
night.
In one document McAfee suggests that Microsoft Explorer users disable
their e-mail message preview so as not to trigger this virus. Yes, it
can be triggered even if you do not open the message.
" Filenames for the worm include: ADMIN.DLL, LOAD.EXE, MMC.EXE,
README.EXE, RICHED20.DLL, MEP*.TMP.EXE "
Good Luck All, E. Campbell
