It's unclear exactly what this is -- whether it is a new virus, a mass
mailing of a virus, or something else.
It appears to be a virus that bounced, and is almost certainly not viable
(the E-mail is a standard text-only bounce message, with a (supposedly)
truncated version the original E-mail following it).
Because it appears to be non-viable (although there is always the slight
chance that it is viable due to a bug in Outlook), it's unlikely that it
will cause any harm. F-Prot detects this as a "suspicious file" (VIRUSCODE
8), which is why it shows up as "Unknown Virus". It looks like the Klez
virus, or a variant of it. If it is the real Klez virus, it can't be
properly detected because it is in a non-viable text segment.
It is definitely very weird.
