Anybody on thelist know these people?
They all seem infected and since I only post to thelist, I guess they 
may have gathered my email address from here. Please, people, do what's 
necessary, I'm spammed and my email box is getting fuller by the minute.

Céline et Olivier
Elisabeth Keitel
Franck Demordiere
manou
martial longatte
michel charvolin
serge fontaine
Thierry Arnaud-Peria
village web

And of course this begs for a tip

<tip type="email viruses">
- never EVER open an unsolicited attachment
- in Windows, always display all the files extensions, so that a 
.doc.pif shows as a .doc.pif and not as a mere .doc
- always have your antivirus up to date
- never use the Visualize Pane in Outlook (Express or not)
- whenever possible, prepare a reply email for all the infected people 
who sent it to you.
</tip>
