I don't think this came through the list, because the list mail server caught it and didn't distribute it. Bernie's email client probably sorted it into his "R:Base list" folder or mailbox, because Ingmar's virus mailed to many addresses at once, and both [EMAIL PROTECTED] and bernie's address were in the "to" field. Bernie's caution is good advice. There are a lot of viruses trying to get themselves posted to list servers. That's one reason we ask list members not to send any executable attachments or scripts with their real messages to the list. Plain text is best.
