<![CDATA[I've seen 3 different sort of emails that probably contain the virus. Problem
is, issues with the headers cause them to be auto-deleted in many cases.
One of them has no date in the header which is a deletable no-no.
Another has a FROM address with a name portion only but no email address,
another deletable no-no.
The third notes that its multi-part/alternative yet it only had an HTML
portion
(no text alternative) which is a really bad, but not deletable no-no.
End result is that I'll have a fast CFPOP solution for anyone who's mailbox
gets
overloaded with this virus. Fun. :)
