The thing that puzzles me is why would he, apparently deliberately , have
sent it to the list?  Does it attach itself automatically to a message
header to appear as a bogus e-mail or what.  The thing can, I've heard,
wreak havoc on your file system.  No lasting damage but a complete waste of
time having to get rid of it.

FWIW - I have the latest copy of McAfee Virus Scan on my Dell.  It
intercepted the <<Happy.exe>> file in my email inbox and destroyed it.  A
function of McAfee's new Email Scan system.  Works as advertised!  Seems to
be a nice Virus Detection piece for anyone interested, I highly recommend
it.
