[Evolution] Phishing [was Re: Suppressing Tool Tips]

[Jonathan Ryshpan <jonrysh pacbell net>]

I recently received the following two messages from tom prost-net de addressed to me directly and not via the list. My mail filter put them into my evolution folder and, on finding them there, I unwisely read them.  It appears that someone is using the list to get addresses for phishing.  Be forewarned!

How can I suppress tool tips in evolution?  Preferably for evolution only and not for other applications.

The archive contains a single file (information_91355.vbs), which I read but did not execute.  I don't see what damage could arise from reading the file.  Is this correct?

The link is to what looks like my own OneDrive account.  I (foolishly) entered the password, 9999, given in the message.  In fact, I don't have an account on OneDrive, so the damage appears to be minor.
