oops!

All school year I have been meeting with a friend at her house on Wednesday afternoons and we, basically, play on her computer - which happens to be a Mac. Most of the time I can answer her questions, but some times we learn together. We have so much fun and we talk more than work on the computer. She insists on paying me and I feel guilty taking anything from her, but she wouldn't like it if I didn't, so I usually accept her generosity.
On Saturday, she is leaving for Istanbul for a couple of weeks and she wondered if she could set up an auto-reply for her email while she is gone. I told her I have never done that in Mail - but if she was game to try it, so was I. We had to set it up as a "Rule" and were a little puzzled as to which condition to select. We finally decided upon 'every message' thinking there would be an auto-reply to every message she received from yesterday on. So, she typed in the following message [Sorry, I'm out of my mind......I mean out of my office] and activated it. Within the first minute we realized that by choosing 'every message' it had sent the auto-reply to every message that was currently in her inbox! And she is one of those persons that very rarely deletes a message - so there were hundreds and hundreds. Oh my gosh! We laughed so hard! She is screaming - Oh NO! oh NO! and laughing til she cried! Did I mention she is on many, many important committees in town - the hospital board, a college committee, co-director of United Way, and on and on! So, you can imagine some of the very important emails that were in her inbox! At least she saw the humor in it and I have no doubt that people will understand when they see it is from Denise! After we settled down from that she asked me something about iPhoto and I answered her question, looked at her and said, "Do you trust me?" She smiled and very matter of factly said, "No." :) Her husband was having some problems with his computer - which happens to be a Mac - in the basement, so I ran down there to take care of it - when I got back upstairs she had laid a check on the island. I hollered out the back door to her that there was no way I was accepting money!
Today - I emailed and asked how the fallout was going from the auto-reply message? I told her she should just tell her friends that her computer had a very rare virus and ask them if they had ever heard of the Moore Worm - to stay away from it, it is deadly! She replied and said about 10 people had responded and she was having a good laugh with it!
