Spam normally comes from a single address and tries to sell me something. One
fingerprint of
the worm viri is that they enter your address book and send out reproductions of
themselves to
anyone on the address list. That's what I have been getting an identical e-mail with
attachments from multiple addresses on an average of one every hour and a half. I'm in
the user
mode and delete them without opening whenever they show up. I just got the same
message from a
valid e-mail address with a different title. This one is entitled," The Life of William
Schymer." The only way to tell what it is is to open it in the root mode, but I don't
want to
do that. But, if you want, I haven't deleted it yet and I'll be glad to forward it to
you and
you can unwrap it to find out what it is.
