That sound's like a threat. I am going to have to report you to your ISP. Sorry. Abuse or Root: Your user is threating to send me a virus through e-mail. Can you stop him, please? See headers at bottom of message. Thanks.

Scott,
Get off it. You can't get a virus from reading an e-mail file. We've been all over this, up and down. You must open a file and run it to get a virus. Now you *may* be able to get a virus from reading 'web based' e-mal like hot mail, but using a regular e-mail software it WILL NOT happen. No way, no how, so put up a copy of this "microsoft letter" on your web site you claim to have and post some verifiable information or just go away and shut up.

It sounds like someone just earned themselves a net.scum page.
