Virus ! Don't Open mail Called " [DTXpress] Re: Firts Timer Needs Advice"

2002-10-18 by Walt

While trying to calm down from being falsely accused of sending 
viruses to other members, I was going through my Yahoo Mail bulk mail 
folder and found a note in there that is very similar to what dopmi 
reported he (or she?) received.  In it you can clearly see that it 
was sent by wgardus @ yahoogroups.com, not by me.  I expanded the 
message to display the full headers, and pasted it below for all to 
see.  Again, this is in my bulk mail folder (meaning I received it), 
not my outgoing sent mail folder.  It appears to have come from 
Australia (froggy.com.au), not from sunny Minnesota.  Walt

Hi Jason,

If you're trying to keep the expenses down for now, I would not get an
amp to start with - headphones should work fine until you want to
start jamming with others.  There has been discussion before on the
su
