Good consumer information is maintained on the Web by some of the companies that sell security software. Symantec and F-Secure are examples that come to mind. Just Google for "email virus" or something like that and you will be started right. For the full technical detail one reads the publications of the CERT, but it's probably best to start with the consumerized version from the merchant houses.

So they do a better job writing 'Subject:' lines than do my do-good friends. So one way to get a corpus of practice from which to teach good email communication would be to gather the spam that arrives in your inbox and teach subject lines from the examples contained therein. >thanks > >Jonathan
