It is probably the one which has been plaguing the Apisto and killie lists.
Some of us are getting those letters several times a day. (One guy is in the
hospital and evidentially his 'puter is still on line, causing mischief.) It
changes names and even flames the reader. It also can mimic replies to the
lists. Macs don't seem to get it, but one person contended a Mac can pass it
along. Updates are now available through the anti-virus sites. Update. Scan
all or dump attachments, as if you didn't before. ;)

All the best!

Scott
