Subject: [boost] Sophisticated Email Virus

Good Afternoon All,

Early this morning, I was the victim of a email virus which may have
captured your email address from my address book. Hopefully, my
antivirus software prevented that.

If you receive a very terse but generally plausible message from me
exhorting you to open an unnamed web site link, DO NOT open that link.
This message might be transmitted from a third site using my email
address. It will attempt to capture your email addresses and possibly
information of an unknown sort and retransmit it to a third site for
subsequent use.

This could happen either immediately or months from now.

For my part, my messages are generally not overly short or cryptic and I
generally employ named links.

Richard Scott
