This new Mimail variant looks nasty - does anyone know if the following
information is true ? and, if so, presumably we need more than just a
pattern update to catch this one!

Thanks,

; The most important modification in Mimail.q are the polymorphic
; encryption keys inbuilt to fool anti-virus programs. Every time the
; infected machine is restarted Mimail.q changes the encryption key so
; that the copies of itself that Mimail sends look different every
; time.
; This means that anti-virus programs must have a decryption routine in
; order to contend with Mimail.q successfully.
