> To all clients of MCS. There is another email VIRUS HOAX making the
> rounds. Viruses cannot be transmitted by email. They can be
> transmitted by an attachment to email. The "Penpal Greetings" and
> "Join the Crew" warnings are HOAXES. When we pass the warnings on
> through our good intentions, we are perpetuating the HOAX and creating
> unnecessary bandwidth usage on the INTERNET. At MCS we do not open
> attachments to email. We just delete them, unless prior arrangements
> have been made to receive an attachment from a KNOWN source. And even
> then we run the attachment through an anti-virus program before doing
> anything with the attachment. For safetys sake we strongly reccomend
> the above procedure.
