Folks,

There's a pseudo-virus going around that's hitting this list. The "viewer"
that is used to see the greeting cards propagated by it installs a program
that spams copies of the greeting card to everyone in your address book.

I say "pseudo-virus" because the fine print in the download menu warns you
that it's going to do just that.

Please don't propagate this noise. Especially here.
