This has been discussed in the alt.spam thread "Can someone help?" posted
5/27/2000. It is nasty SPAM, but so far there aren't any known viruses. If
you use Outlook you can avoid having it launch the HTML windows by turning
off the "Preview Pane" under the "View" menu before clicking on the email to
delete it.

Please, no more cross-posting.
