But you just said it didn't come through the list! If it didn't come
through the list, it was a damn good forgery.

I didn't realize that *something* came through the list when I wrote that. The something wasn't a virus, however -- it was just the MIME representation of a virus, in the body of a plain-text message.


It had the standard attachment labels when I received it. It was
specified to be an .xls (Excel) file.

Perhaps, but unless it is actually formatted as a MIME-encoded message (which it wasn't), no e-mail client should treat it as one, making it innocuous.


The server doesn't allow multi-part MIME messages to go to the list.
