First, it's a trojan, not a virus--get your terminology straight: virii automagically execute and do their damage, trojans need intervention to execute (Melissa virus indeed...). Secondly, as a trojan, you have to execute it on a winbox, so there shouldn't be much problem on a Debian list. Third, it ain't his fault--it takes over Outlook and sends a copy with everything he sends. Fourth, thank God you didn't quote the entire thing for whatever reason--happy99 is a "huge attachment by email" :P
