Just out of curiousity - how do we know that there is a Melissa-style
payload if there is zero information on the web about it and we haven't
visited the website yet?
For good measure I've gone ahead and tried to configure our filters to
detain this little fellow. Still, I'd like to know more about it.

Its plain text, and carries no executables with it, but I haven't visited
the website yet. More info to follow, but there is zero information on the
web about it at this point.
