In defence of the person from whom you received the attachment, it wasn't done on purpose. The virus is automatically send to you as a "reply" to your email, and that virus uses several methods to get you to open it, one of which is to say, "Look to the attachment". The clue that it isn't real it the fact that we, in America, don't say "Look to" we would say "Look at" this virus comes from a non-English speaking country or person. I understand your anger, but changing your email address will not help. If you send email to anyone who has the virus, it will come back to you. I get lots, everyday, and just delete, delete, and go on with life. I am very disappointed that I can't have the atttachment, as I live so far from the library that has it. Julia French Wood
