Since you did go as far as the news story, though, I think it would be a good idea to do a thorough virus scan just in case.

Hi Doug,

That link in Valerie's e-mail leads to an icky thing.  I don't know if it
will hurt anything, but it acts funny.

Sorry, that was about the most unintelligent sentence I've written in
decades. Let me try again. The link led to a news story. However, if you 
clicked on the link within the news story, it took you to a page that you
couldn't leave. In my experience, the pages that won't let you use the
"close" button in the browser to leave them, but require you to hit a
"cancel" link are bad news.
I'm fine here, because I didn't try to use the "cancel" link which I assume from prior bad experience is really not a "cancel" link, but a link that is 
an "agree" link to something probably no one is interested in having as it
gathers info from your computer,at least that's what happened to me years
ago.

Hope Valerie gets her problem solved quickly.  How frustrating for you all
to have to deal with this.

 Mayrie

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] yesterday from Valerie Maples -- do not open hers 

There was a message sent to this list yesterday from Valerie Maples that
basically had the subject line of hello followed by the e-mail address of
this list.
She did not send this! It appears that her e-mail has been hijacked. We have 
just found this out and believe that this could be spam or the link inside
could even lead to a virus.
We're trying to figure out what to do. My spam folder did not catch it, but 
hers did. Check your spam folders at the server level, as well as your
e-mail programs. Get rid of that message.

If anyone has opened it and clicked on the link, please let me know what
happened. Until we regain control of her e-mail account, do not open her
messages. They are probably not from her.

Thank you,
-- Doug
