Most versions of e-mail software now-a-days do not open .exe .vbs and other

them manually and even warn the user. Ed was probably using an archaic
e-mail program or opened an infected file he recieved from someone else,
prolly with the same message that we recieved.
Do we actually know that Ed King's was the infected machine? We know that
it was using his return address consistently, so
(a) blocking emails "From" him stopped the flood, and
(b) it must have been from a machine where his email address was stored, and
(c) Norton identified it for me as w32.yaha.f@mm,
so it must have come from a Windows machine, but
http:[EMAIL PROTECTED] says
The From field is a randomly-selected email address and may not be the legitimate sender.
(Just curious.)
