Thanks for this, Dan.  Now, if you could just tell us all how to hit some 
special key combination to make something ugly happen to the senders of 
same, you'd be my personal hero!

Hi,

The "life is beautiful" virus is a hoax and has been floating around the
internet and clogging up email accounts since 2002.

Just an FYI for all.  Any time you receive an email that says it is very
important and you should send it to everyone you ever heard of;

First, delete it out of hand.  It is a hoax.
Second, if you really aren't sure that it is a hoax, go to www.snopes.com
and type in a key word or two from the email and snopes will most likely
confirm that it is a hoax.

For example.  I went to www.snopes.com and typed in "life is beautiful" in
the edit box.  The hoax report came up first on the list.

Hope that helps.
