Please, people, before you send these out, check to see if
it's another HOAX! This one appears to be such.

See IBM's news on the subject from way back in June:

http://www.av.ibm.com/BreakingNews/HypeAlert/Crew/

Also, various known hoax viruses are listed at McAfee's site:

http://www.mcafee.com/support/hoax.html

These sites remind us that simply opening a mail message cannot
start a program (so far). The danger resides in any attached
executable files (i.e., a file that starts a program).
