Dear Group, In response to Stephen's mail, it may be helpful to everyone on the group if: 1- The Purdue web screened these emails with a good anti virus before passing these onto the group. 2- The mail recepients screaned their mails again (they may have a later update of the Anti voirus). 3- Those of us passing the viruses on may not know if they have them, so a message from the recepient of the infected mail to the sender may save many others from the hidden virus -- Warmest regards from: -------------------- Fareed Al-Gurg, Haematology, Dubai Hospital, Dubai - U.A.E.
