the anti-virus sales and alert droids recommend not opening any email with a subject line of "i love you."

i simply couldn't resist opening the email from BB with that subject line though.

Subject:        I love you.

OK, so I should have checked the news stories for the day before my
e-mail.:)

Obviously the code I've posted is the I Love You "virus".  Check
out a bunch of stories on SecurityFocus' headlines for media coverage.
Enjoy the code.
