[Histonet] RE: Akemi - Urgent!

[Merced M Leiker]

Akemi - Thanks for passing this on, even if it is legit. Good to be aware 
of what's out there. I have heard of email viruses that will send out 
emails from your account to contacts in your directory, (this would include 
Histonet...)

Regards,
Merced
