+
+Read your emails with pleasure.
+
+Read greetings from here and from there - also from ones who write "I
+love you", and enjoy Nigerians attempting in long phrases to persuade
+you to exchange your pin-code with a fictious diamant mine.
+
+And have a curious look at those emails seemingly delivered to you by
+error: Your collegue from work quoting a piece in hebrew and attaching a
+Word document. Your swedish friend warning in english about a virus you
+immediately must remove using her attached Excel spreadsheet. Bill Gates
+himself personally inviting you to a contest about a Nokia phone - you
+only need to "click here". Or yourself(?!?) sending you some gibberish
+and attaching a compressed file...
+
+#Virus are in attachments!
+
+So read calmly your emails. Just avoid opening ATTACHMENTS that you do
+not know about. Are you in doubt, then ask the sender for an explanation
+or clarification.
+
+You should NOT be afraid to read emails, and you should NOT follow
+hastily instructions you do not understand.
+
+Are you in doubt then consult your local geek.
+
+(and are you afraid you will be laughed at, then consult me - I won't
+laugh!).
+
+One freaky detail: Some email applications (especially those from
+Microsoft) are so "nice" as to open attachments automatically - without
+your prior request. Consult your local geek if you worry that you are
+"gifted" with such applications.
+
+But above all: Don't get frightened! Fear and suspicion are unpleasant
+creatures, and irrelevant in relation to email virus.
