A pain in the neck but generally harmless, except for the part where your e-mail goes crazy. sharon Sharon Burton-Hardin Anthrobytes Consulting 909-369-8590 www.anthrobytes.com Vice-president, Programs of the Inland Empire chapter of the STC www.iestc.org ----- Original Message ----- From: <DittDad@aol.com> To: <OHPERRY-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, 02 May, 2001 4:11 PM Subject: [OHPerry] Virus | To the list. | | In tonight mail there were 3 messages in reply to messages | I had sent.
