Hi Jan Lund,

I just learned why we can't return the virus message to the sender. The
virus places an underline just in front of their E-mail address so that it
will be bounced back as undeliverable. Go into your Address book as I did
and sure enough it shows an underline. Type in the address without the
underline and you can warn them that they have the virus so they can do
something about it. You are right they don't even know that the message was
sent to you. It had even used as a subject line a subject that I had used
last week and when I recognized it I was ready to open the attachment when
my Norton Antivirus went off and I tried to return it only to have it bounce
back till I removed the underline or under space what ever you call " _ "
that was ahead of the address.
Talk more later.........................Bob
