email virus warning, old but beware anyway

BEWARE. This happened several years ago, but no reason to think it cannot happen again.
TWO SUBJECT  LINES TO BEWARE OF:
  
BETTER  SAFE THAN SORRY. READ AND HEED.
 
I just verified this with Snopes and it is REAL. ALSO WENT TO TRUTH OR FICTION AND IT'S on  their site also. It says that this is outdated, HOWEVER, for safety's sake, who knows if someone will try doing it again with different viruses.
Here are the reports.
http://www.snopes.com/computer/virus/osama.asp
http://www.hoax-slayer.com/bin-laden-captured.html
http://urbanlegends.about.com/library/bl_osama_virus.htm
http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/o/osama.htm
 
PLEASE INFORM EVERYONE. 
 
Emails with pictures of Osama Bin-Laden hanged are being sent and the moment that you open these emails your computer will crash and you will not be able to fix it!
 
 
If you get an email along the lines of Osama BinLaden Captured' or 'Osama Hanged', don't open the attachment.
  
This e-mail is being distributed through countries around the globe, but mainly in the US and Israel.
 
Be considerate & send this warning to whomever you know.
 
PLEASE FORWARD THIS WARNING AMONG FRIENDS, FAMILY AND CONTACTS:
 
You should be alert during the next days: Do not open any message with an attached file called 'Invitation' regardless of who sent it.
 
It is a virus that opens an Olympic Torch which 'burns' the whole hard disc C of your computer.
 
This virus will be received from someone who has your e-mail address in his/her contact list, that is why you should send this e-mail to all your contacts.
 
It is better to receive this message 25 times than to receive the virus and open it !
 
If you  receive a mail called 'invitation', though sent by a friend,   do not open it and shut down your computer immediately.
This is the worst virus announced by CNN, it has been classified by Microsoft as the most destructive virus ever.
This virus was discovered by McAfee yesterday, and there is no repair yet for this kind of virus.
 
This virus simply destroys the Zero Sector of the Hard Disc, where the vital information is kept.
 
SEND THIS E-MAIL TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW.

Please use Bcc: for your email lists!


I've been meaning to let folks know, you must learn to use the Bcc: function on your email. If you already do this, then you can use this email to forward to those that you find that don't.
 
When you notice that I send an email to you, there are only my own email addresses (3 of em I think) and your email address. I only put my email addresses in the To: line, I put no email addresses in the Cc: line, and my list of all my recipients go in the Bcc: line.
 
When using To: and Cc: (Cc: stands for Carbon Copy) lines, everyone's email address is available to everyone else on those lines for all to see, and perhaps abuse by adding to their lists. Folks that use the 'Reply All' function then wil be emailing everyone from your list, as well as anyone that they add themself.
 
Now when you receive an email and see a whole bunch of emails, you know that that person did not use Bcc: which stands for Blind Carbon Copy. Please use this function when sending emails because the rest of the recipients will be 'Blind' to the entire list except for those in your To: and Cc: lines.

Cc: is really for use by businesses; like in the bottom of a letter so that everyone in an organization knows who else received the memo/email. If you use Bcc: then only the people in the To: line and the Cc: line will show up on their email, and all of the addresses you put in the Bcc: line will not be seen by others.
 
Once again please use Bcc: for you list of email addresses so that no one will mistakenly 'Reply All', or snag your friends and family addresses for their own purposes.
 
Please use Bcc: now and forward this to everyone on your list. This should be the standard usage, but we still see big lists of others emails at the top of the stuff we receive. It becomes aggravating when then someone adds your email list to others and we get a big gaggle of stuff we don't want from folks we do not even know!!!

Ed's new 'horse'.

Hiya
My new horse, a 2008 Victory Vision which I've named 'Pegasus' after the mythological flying horse, is broken in.
That means I will be making sure that it doesn't become a stable nag.
Therefore if you don't hear from me as often as before, you'll understand why!
Don't think just because I have a new 'horse' that I don't love you anymore...
 
Picture is attached.
