Ron,
Happy.exe is a self replicating "worm". When you open it it changes your
e-mail registry so that it attaches itself to any mail you send, sending a
second blank message with just the file, which then attaches itself to
anyone who opens it's e-mail program. I doesn't seem to do any damage, just
a prank from some overeducated geek with no sex life of their own who
decided to screw with everyone's mail. got it? Jim
