It's the latest Windows virus. If you take a look, you'll see that one person sent out a couple dozen messages just before all the virus warnings came flooding in; it seems safe to assume that he's the one who's infected. There appear to be two separate mail servers responding to the threat with warnings, but sending them to the list rather than the originator. Whether this indicates that they're broken (sending "_you_ are infected" messages to the list instead of to the sender of the infected message) or not (they're warning everyone else on the list about the threat) is a matter of personal opinion. -- "Two words: Windows survives." - Craig Mundie, Microsoft senior strategist "So does syphillis.
