<snipped UUENCODED WIN/32 program "www.myparty.yahoo.com">

It appears that Jeremy's computer sent this message to the list
without his being aware, otherwise he most probably would have
explained why he sent it and he would have explained what the
inserted program is supposed to do.

Does anyone know what this program is supposed to do?  Is this a
new virus?  I decoded it and then I scanned it with my anti-virus
software.  It was not identified as a virus or a Trojan.  I'm not
going to try to run this program because I have very good reason
to remain very suspicious of it.

BTW, don't most virii send themselves out to addresses in one's
mailing list as MIME encoded files instead of as inserted UUENCODED
files?  If this is a virus, it is the first one I have ever received
as an inserted UUENCODED file.  Isn't it almost impossible for a
typical Windows user to inadvertently run a program that is sent
as an inserted UUENCODED file?  BTW, this virus requires Windows.
This was indeed a most unusual message.
