There are more creative ways to do this stuff - like, instead of
sending out copies of yourself with the same dopey title, pick entries
from the inbox and reply to them or resend items from sentmail. And
send out children titled with variations on: 'how to protect yourself
against the I-Love-You virus.'

The vbscript source for this thing was posted on Slashdot, so look
there if you're curious how these things work. It's very simple, and
it's a very effective demonstration of how the scripting in Outlook
can be exploited.
