This must be same virus as the "Good Times" virus
that's been going around forever. ;^}
While it's true that reading an email message cannot
infect your system you can get a virus from opening
any attachments that are included. Our company gets
an MS Word virus periodically. It's easily cleaned
and is only a nuisance though.
