Bish,

This particular virus only bites Outlook / Outlook Express a product 
line I don't recommend to my customers because of these kinds of 
exploitable holes. Nevertheless all of the major virus scanners will find 
this one if it's in your PC.

Meanwhile you can safely open and read Stan's message using Eudora 3 or 
4, the mailer in StarOffice, every email program I know of for DOS and 
Linux systems, and older versions of Netscape Communicator. In short, use 
anything that isn't Outlook or trying to emulate its functionality.

If you need to know any more you will have to tell me the address where I 
can post you my invoice ;-) 

But to answer Stan's question, I think that Mira is now on its way 
down....


cheers,
Fraser Farrell
