shift/delete will actually completely remove it from your Outlook folder....
...if you just press "Delete", it will just sit in your "Deleted Items" folder where you could inadvertanty reopen it.<p>Andy Hedin

Here a Bulletin from Symantec
************************************************** *******************
Symantec Platinum Support Bulletin
************************************************** ********************
There is a mass breakout of a new worm, which the Symantec AntiVirus
Research Center is currently calling VBS.LoveLetter.A.
It was discovered a few hours ago in Europe, and has already hit
several large European Corporations. It is likely to hit the US
quickly.
Symantec European tech support has already received many calls
from corporations ht by this new virus and SARC believes
it could be as bad as the Melissa virus that hit last year.
Although SARC does not yet have a cure for this worm, we hope by
providing this preliminary information, it will help admins make
email configurations which can filter for the subject line and
attachment name.
SARC is currently working on a new virus definition for this.
This is preliminary information. It is subject to change as we
learn more about this virus.
