(ot) e-mail virus - what to do?

Make sure that you remove it -- one of our users got it, told no one and the
next day, her programs didn't appear on the task bar when minimized. The
program was still running, just didn't appear on the taskbar. The removal
instructions fixed it.

I classify this as a virus, since it did affect the functionality of the
computer.

I recall that a week or so ago there was a "virus" going around that
occurred once you opened a greeting card. Well, someone here got one today
and opened it. Is this a "virus" and what should I do as system
administrator to remedy the problem? If I recall, this e-mail is merely a
link to an executable that sends an e-mail to everyone in your address book
and is not really a "virus".

That is correct - it is a program installed on the computer and not a virus.
Check out the following link - there is removal instructions at the bottom
of the page.
