Hello,
Just FYI - The source of the mailing is not me - I just rescaned my PC
and it is virus free.
The Klez family of viruses are mainly the bane of the hapless Microsoft
Outlook user, a product that I avoid like the plague.
If you get an odd email from my address - or anyone else, I'd suggest
going to http://www.spamcop.net
This site has a function that will allow you to paste the message source
into the page and then will tell you the actual original source of the
email.
Please ignore any email from my address that contains attachments. I do
not send attachments to anyone unless specifically requested.
Todd
