i have received several klez mails over the last few days. all were sent to an email address i havent used except for the type2 list, which i havent been on in while. klez takes a random email address and puts it in the to address, then takes another random address and puts it in from address attaches itself to a random selected email attachment, and then when you send your next email it goes on its way. for klez to functiion it needs Windoze outlook and associated address book. Mac outlook for newer versions uses the system address book. jimt jimt On Thursday, Oct 3, 2002, at 19:15 America/Denver, David Beierl wrote: > Not from the list, the list won't send attachments.
