Ouch. Pity this message wasn't simply discarded (or at least manually reviewed) before it was distributed to the list :-( Hmm, it also appears to have successfully masqueraded as being sent by Tom. oh well. I guess that there's not much that tomsrtbt can do about it :) > The original message was not completely plain text, and may be unsafe to > open with some email clients; in particular, it may contain a virus, > or confirm that your address can receive spam.

Indeed... this isn't spam, it's the mydoom (novarg) virus (and I've had a hellava day cleaning up the mess and confusion it has caused around here... :) (The anti-virus scanners weren't detecting it until the very latest updates). This virus includes a DoS attack against SCO's website, heh, this aspect of it I don't particularly mind :-) > Content-Type: application/octet-stream; > name="document.zip" > Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 > Content-Disposition: attachment; > filename="document.zip" Delete this menace if you still have it, and those running windows boxes should check their systems (see the antivirus web sites for details). now back to your usual mailing list viewing...
