[CUBE] virus??

[Robert W. Bumala]

It can't hurt you.  It's uses a windoz security hole that Macs don't 
have.  The best you can do is create an email filter to filter out the 
unwanted emails until it's over.  I work at Lockheed where we have 
thousands of Win2K and NT machines.  It's been a major headach for the 
IT guys.
