Beware of strange email msgs LO29255

Replying to LO28373 --

There are more and more troubling viruses.

A couple of people tell me they have received virus-laden messages which
appear to have come from the LO list... In fact, they come from some
infected computer and pretend to be from the LO list.

I recently wrote in part:

> - Do not double click attachments unless you have virus-checked them first
> - Do not open messages that look suspicious
