What a HOAX is claiming, is that there should be a virus in a mail! But that's impossible.
A virus needs executable code. Pure plain-text mails are not executable! And even HTML is not really
executable. All right, I agree: JavaScript could be embedded. And this JavaScript code could be malicious.
But in these warning mails, nobody talks about a mail with JavaScript. This "Virus" that is mentioned in the
"warning mail", does not exist! The virus is the "warning mail" itself. Everybody sends it to his friends. Ever thought about
the tremendous amount of mails that is spread like this? It's like SPAM!
