Watch out for viruses in attached files. Attached files are a common way to spread computer viruses. In Eudora, just receiving an attachment cannot infect your computer.

Some viruses can attach themselves without the sender even knowing it.
These messages tell you to send or forward them to several other people. Don't get fooled by Internet hoaxes and computer virus myths . Before you forward a so-called virus alert to everyone you know, check with the CIT HelpDesk or one of the web sites linked here to see if it's for real. Don't send unwanted e-mail. It can be regarded as harassment, which is governed by university policies and codes.
