>I am just curious. Last week someone started to send a chain letter (e-mail) that alleged MS and AOL would pay x amount for each person the letter was fowarded to. Over the course of a couple of days, our e-mail system handled 80k+ copies of this junk letter. How many other orgs got hit with this thing?

Off subject slightly, check out http://www.urbanmyths.com/ for a listing of these types of myths that float around. There is another site dedicated to urban myths as well, but I can't seem to find the url.
