You are probably quite right, Ben. I was reading through everything
I found, and was probably reading too quickly to digest it all properly.
But I did pick up that it used the Outlook fittings and furnishings,
and then expressed myself poorly in my posting.
BTW: The latest F-Prot for DOS is able to pick up such nasties while
they are still uuencoded as part of a downloaded email. It even found
some stuff I had filed away as such, and also picked up the track in the
Arachne POP3 log.
