There's no guessing what tiny minds will find to occupy their time is there? My
attachments were some other doc with an 'Oxford Club' reference. I suspect there
is a similarly sinister objective. I am sure there is a point somewhere ...

Dear list,
Seems like we've been hit again, when I checked my mail today there
were these messages headed "FREE BUSINESS CARDS" or something, and each one
had an attatchement called 'ASKPERM1.DOC'.
I strongly suspect that these contain Microsoft Word macro viruses
so it would be a good plan not to look at them.
Since they are only 4K long, there cannot be any useful text
contained within them, but there is enough room for a macro virus.

But you all knew all that anyway :-)

Cheers,
