Hate to tell you, but this is an urban legend that has been around for
years.  This virus doesn't exist.

There is, however, a virus that can be placed within a Word macro that
will affect Word.  Unless you read your EMail with Word, you won't have
to worry.  Anyway, if such a virus was possible, why would a virus
writer place a virus in an Email message where the subject is so well
known?
