The Symantec Anti-Virus Research Center (SARC, http://www.sarc.com) doesn't have anything on it. But I have heard of worms which pick subject lines from existing messages, so that is inconclusive.

Since Microsoft has succeeded in convincing the entire Western world that MSIE is the only web browser known to man, most any Windows email program capable of rendering HTML (e.g., Eudora) will be susceptible as well, as they will simply pass it off to MSIE. -- Ben Scott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | The opinions expressed in this message are those of the author and do not | | necessarily represent the views or policy of any other person, entity or | | organization.
