New kind of virus spam I got today. Yeah, right. I'll un-zip the file.
Subject: I've_got your EMail on my_account!

Hello,
First, Very Sorry for my bad English.

Someone is sending your private e-mails on my address.
It's probably an e-mail provider error!
At time, I've got over 10 mails on my account, but the recipient are you.

I have copied all the mail text in the windows text-editor for you & zipped then.
Make sure, that this mails don't come in my mail-box again.

bye

Attachment:
your_text.zip

1. That's pretty devious
The only email virus that ever came close to getting me was addressed from a caver friend and said it had photos of a cave she had been to recently. I was intrigued, but something seemed off. Several Outlook users in our caving group fell for it and got the virus.

2. Hey!
Where do you cave? Is it anywhere near the upper Midwest? I've only done a few caves, but have a geology background and love outdoors stuff.

Yes, I'm aware that a cave may not technically be outdoors! :P

But my school email admin sent out a warning about that specific virus spam. Apparently it's pretty bad,

3. I'm in middle TN
The cave capital of the world. I'm living within 25 miles of five of the top ten longest caves in the state, and thousands more besides. I haven't been in about a year, alas. I need to get back out there.

4. Yeah, I'll say
My most experienced caving friend did a bunch in Kentucky, and since you guys have similiar Mountain geology (I know, the Appalachians are EXTREMELY geologically complex) you must get some great stuff.

Is there one dominant formation for caves in TN?

Get after it! :)

7. The western edge of the Cumberland Plateau is where most of the good stuff

6. Yeah, that's a disaster just waiting to happen
Good thing you didn't open it!

Like if I were gonna complain to someone about receiving their emails I'd go to the bother of copying them and zipping them into one file.

Goddamn useless spammers and virus sending filth.

In my perfect world, both would be executed.
