I'm unsure how this message made it to thelist (something we in content and 
sysadmin will undoubtedly check), but this list strips mime-encoded 
attachments from messages prior to list injection, so no-one was ever really 
in danger from this stupid virus.

The point of origin of the virus message was a Wanadoo (née Freeserve) 
dialup customer, in case anyone's interested :)
