Thank you for the reply. Yes, each message was generated by qmail. Didn't notice that the first time I looked.

Since it's just a plain text message, a proper MIME decoder won't decode it and won't even see the virus. This shouldn't be a problem unless your e-mail client tries to be clever [sic] and "decode" the plain-text message as if it were a MIME message. If your e-mail client does this, then it's time to get a new e-mail client.
