Infected!

[Bob Kane]

Not necessarily true. You can't be sure who actually sent the message without looking into the details of the numeric addressing on the message. The virus will insert addresses it finds into the "sender" field to make you think the message is coming from someone you know. I am getting "Delivery Failure" notices from mail servers claiming my getterflash at yahoo.com ID sent a message containing the virus, which can't happen unless I knowingly forward the message (I have not). This account is web-based and not susceptible to viruses targeting Microsoft Outlook, one of the reasons I use it for list subscriptions.

If any of our list members can contact these people, please tell them to
clean their computers with the latest Anti-Virus software. As some may have
noticed, the "bug" got in their computers and is sending infected e-mails
out to everyone in their address book.
