How many companies will be blocking "I Love You" as a subject line :)

I guess this particular spammer does not know their viruses otherwise they
would have realised that quite a few of their mails will never reach its
destination :)

My heart bleeds... Not!

Presumably you think you are making a smart comment about (now very old and
"stale") filters to block VBS/LoveLetter.A aka "LoveBug" aka "ILOVEYOU"???

If so, any company that had a filter to block such Email based on a Subject:
line of "I love you" (case-insensitively) would have been out of luck, for
as is very well documented all over the net, LoveLetter.A used "ILOVEYOU" as
its Subject: line for its outgoing Email messages...

I'd get that looked at! 8-)

How about "i.?love.?you" or "i\s?love\s?you"...
That Regex caught all the variants back when I still did email
filtering. It wasn't as affective as just gutting un-trusted binaries
and emails over 10K, but it was still useful for a time.

What a load of shite -- well, unless you were in charge of Email filtering
until sometime before LoveLetter.B hit the net (what was the delta from
LoveLetter.A to that again?? A bit less than 48 hours IIRC...).

Explain how that regex caught LoveLetter.B's "Susitikim shi vakara kavos
puodukui..." Subject: line, or LoveLetter.C's "FW: Joke" or ...

Perhaps you get the point now?
