Keep in mind, a program has to be run (usually) by a user in order to
replicate.
The only areas where this is not applicable, is where there is some kind of
exploit on the mail system, server or client, that allows special code to be
executed from the header information. This is very UNlikely.

I'd imagine that one of the major AntiVirus companies like NAI (www.nai.com)
or Symantec (www.symantec.com) have "virus Hoax" areas. Since we have NAI
software, I know that they have both a Hoax area and a searchable virus
library.
You may be able to email a tech person at NAI to look it up or to add to
either the hoax section or the virus section.
