Don't worry, we're not dumping you from the list. I've set things up so that any virus that gets through my various other traps will automatically be dumped down to text. This basically renders it useless (also works with script viruses and the like). I would like all current and past members to check their machines for the virus though. Someone has it and they have your name, my name and the list name in their address book at the very least.
