Be thankful you're not on any of the OpenBSD lists.  The worm has the
nasty side-effect of grabbing an infecting user's addressbook and
passing on the worm as an attachment.  Unfortunately, the worst part is
that it spoofs the address(es?) of one of those found in the
addressbook.  In this case, some Windows/Outlook user got hit and the
worm spoofed itself as misc/[EMAIL PROTECTED]  You can imagine the
mess... every AV gateway in existence is bouncing these infected mails
back to the mailing lists.  *sigh*
