Re: email worm?

["LuJane Nisse, Publisher" <lujane@lataheagle.com>]

I have been getting these from different people and the "reply" gives the
correct e-mail address but has an underline in the beginning which makes it
invalid. I've written to them with their correct e-mail to inform them they
are sending out viruses or worms however. Linda Pall's e-mail has sent out
several to me and there was one other one... didn't get one from
eze@mosocow, however. When I got the e-mail from Pall it automatically
opened up my media player and tried opening the file (which was scary). It
couldn't however and gave an error. I've never had an email do that
(automatically try to open its attachment).
