Thanks Bob,

Hi Don, 
I know what you mean. I receive email virus sent from myself [to
myself]. 
Too bad these programmers have nothing better to do with their time. I 
would bet if they chose to, they could actually be doing something
useful.

Don, my thanks to you for the postings. For some reason, for the past
week, I have been receiving a rash of viruses via e-mail attachments -
one was the W32/Sir.Cam worm coming in every half hour from the same
address - a hotel in Quebec [???].

Turns out this particular address was a real place, and not a
pseudo-address. I called and notified them, and I am no longer
receiving the every 1/2-hour e-mails. I assume they removed my address
from their system. Whatever, the magic seems to have worked [at least
for now].
