-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.
