As you have been able to copy and send this e-mail it follows that you have opened it. That is one of the worst things you can do with this kind of e-mail. Why hasn't it got straight into the trash?

On top by sending it to those who may not have qdequate protection/sense a possible trojan has been propagted.

Suggest you Google on this technical term: "dummy"
More than a few boards wuld have blacklisted you for this.

Bob,I had one of these too!!
I believed you copied & pasted - something everyone does, which does not 'send' it anywhere, neither does it infect anything with a Trojan.

It's a right pain when 'Spam' doesn't know where it belongs, isn't it?
Rotten scammers change addresses and the darned 'new' stuff doesn't go into the 'junk folder' unless you direct it there, does it? :-|

...well not for mere mortals, anyway....

Oh, and don't you have to at least half open it forward it? *tsk*

Ps it WAS in my spam folder but I thought others might need to be aware of it!
