Re: GAS-L: A plague of viruses..

[Joel Florian <joflo@yifan.net>]

Dear Tom Reed and Gasification list members,

Tom,  some of the recent mutations of viruses have been able to cull email 
addresses off the internet and then put them in the from field of the 
email.  Thus an innocent person such as yourself could be identified as the 
sender of a poorly written email containing a virus.   Several of my 
friends have received emails supposedly from me -- but from accounts that I 
haven't used for two years and are not viable email addresses.

Everyone that does email should take measures to prevent viruses from 
infecting their computers -- either use a virus checker for Windows or 
switch to Linux or a Mac.  Now we can't even trust emails from  our friends.
