Guest guest Posted October 24, 2001 Report Share Posted October 24, 2001 Hi, Received this from a friend today and it is a simple and very good idea. Takes a couple of minutes and protects your mail list(s). Warm regards, Dharam Maybe I'm the only guy who didn't already know about this, but here's a great (and simple) tip from our employer's (Windermere Real Estate) IT Department to avoid spreading viruses. It doesn't prevent you from contracting the virus, but it will minimize the spreading of viruses if everyone does this. It's one of those "Why didn't I think of that?" ideas. Bill Cox "To avoid spreading computer viruses, create a contact in your email address book with the name "!0000" with no email address in the details. This contact will then show up as your first contact. If a virus attempts to do a "send all" on your contact list, your PC will put up an error message saying that "The message could not be sent. One or more recipients do not have an email address. Please check your Address Book and make sure all the recipients have a valid email address." You then click on OK and the offending (virus) message would not have been sent to anyone. Of course no changes have been made to your original contacts list. The offending (virus) message may then be automatically stored in your "Drafts" or "Outbox" folder. Go in there and delete the offending message. Problem is solved and virus is not spread. Try this and pass it on to your email contacts." gordon wrote: > Hi Preeti > > See my message of yesterday. > > Sat Nam! > Gordon > > - > "preeti mishra" <preetims > <Kundaliniyoga> > Wednesday, October 24, 2001 01:37 > Re: à=!"# $ % > > > > > --- brian kilton <bkilton wrote: > > > À=!"# $ . > > > > > ????????????? > > could you explain this plz... > > love > > preeti > > > > > "OUR DESTINY IS TO BE HAPPY" > - Yogi Bhajan > > You can UNSUBSCRIBE from this list at the Groups Member Center (My Groups), or send mail to > Kundaliniyoga > NO UNSUBSCRIBE REQUESTS TO THE LIST PLEASE! > WEB SITE: kundalini yoga > > KUNDALINI YOGA ON-LINE TRAINING.
