[INDOOR-GARDENING:230] WARNING: Happy99.exe computer worm

Hi, gang.  This is not a drill, this is a real computer worm.  

One of our own is unknowingly sending out the attachment HAPPY99.EXE with
every e-mail he sends, so everyone on the list will have received it with
his recent posts.  HAPPY99.EXE will not damage your computer but it will
modify your system files in such a way that every e-mail message you send
will have HAPPY99.EXE attached.

>>>>>> IF YOU DO NOT RUN THE PROGRAM YOU ARE AT NO RISK.  <<<<<<<<<<

Simply delete the file from your attachments directory and all is well.  

However, if you have opened HAPPY99.EXE and seen the fireworks, you will
have to take steps to remove this worm from your computer.
