Michael,
Thank you for your alert.

In the same way that you did not ask the original question, I did not write
the part attributed to 'me'!
There is no such address [EMAIL PROTECTED]
The only address in this sub-domain subscribed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] is
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
I have reduced myself to list-lurker status for a number of weeks now.

One of the features of the BugBear worm is that it combines components of
different messages/msg-hdrs from mailing lists, and constructs its 'own'
likely-looking msg/disguise to carry the viral payload for onward infection.
eg yourself, my domain, and someone else, somewhere, called "Bill".
Vicious! Difficult to trace!
The virus can be stopped at the border by most AV s/w.
Its cost (apart from an actual infection) may be felt in the number of
automated-response msgs that are sent out by defense mechanisms, to those
they 'identify' as apparent perpetrators, who like yourself (and myself) are
in fact innocent parties, and who may in turn may respond - such phenomenon
will ultimately clog up the email/Internet with pointless
msgs/disclaimers/refusals.

You are correct, it is a Windows-only problem.
You can read more details (amongst the many choices) at
http:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

I'm sorry you have been inconvenienced.
Regards,
=dn
