Got this today from Selma (I presume) with a 100k mail worm attached.
It seems able to get by our site's virus detector, but it only
affects microsoft machines, so it was no problem for me. That
will not be the case for many of you. Please note that the worm works
by hoping you will confuse ".pif", an obsolete form of windoze
executable, with ".pdf", a compressed text file format. We will
probably see several more of these, as this is apparently a cleverly
crafted little beggar.

The giveaway is the attachment, an executable with a size of 103kB,
called "Your_document.pif" .
Already now I've seen another, prbably from a spammer, with the
header "Re: Your application", and the attachment is also called
"Your_document.pif", and also 103kB.
