These messages are the result of a virus that spreads itself through
email. (Delete them unopened and unread.) They're not all coming from the
same person, as you'll note if you are tracking all the "Hi! How are you?"
mails. However, it may be worthwhile to block the apparent
vbeal@sweetlifeinc.com address that most of them have in their From:
header. That'd kill eighty-five percent of them. I'll ask about that.
