Once yet again, you cannot get a virus from this group. You can get a
virus from a member of this group, but with this virus you won't know
who sent it. It takes names from the afflicted address book and fakes
it. The sender's address is counterfeit. The message title is also
counterfeit. The [biofuel] tag in the title is also counterfeit. It
came to you direct, not sent by the list. Mailing the sender is
probably useless because he probably did not send it. As it happens,
[EMAIL PROTECTED] is a member of the list. In other cases, the
alleged senders haven't even been list members.
So, panic if you like, unsubscribe, change your profile to Web-only
or whatever, but it won't help. It's got nothing to do with the list.
If you use virus-prone software, it's up to you to keep it up to date
with patches or whatever and to keep your anti-virus gear up to date
as well.
