Keith; Thank you for your information. The message I received had the following in the Subject box: "Re:[biofuel] ethanol" and I opened this e-mail only because of the subject box message. I had generated several questions to the "group" a few days ago and I have only opened e-mails which subject box have the message "Re:[biofuel] ethanol" as to read any responses. THEREFORE, whom ever is sending the message(s) with a virus attached (as an attachment) somehow has the list (and my email account address) and the subject box is being sent as part of the e-mail to unsuspecting e-mail accounts. I don't comprehend how this works, I do understand everyones frustration though. Thanks again for your assistance. Gerry
