I am not saying that the virus would spread via the listserv. I realize
attachments are removed by the listserv and I am assuming that vbScript and
most HTML is hopefully stripped out too.
However, I am saying that the email distribution lists in outlook can be
populated by email messages delivered from a listserv.
Each of us received a countless number of messages each day from this and
possibly other listservs. If you are using any version of Microsoft Outlook
or Outlook express, each time you receive an email message, the addresses
in the "from" field of the email header are automatically added to your
outlook address book. In the future, should your PC ever become infected
with one of those email viruses that spread using your outlook address
book, the virus would then be sent out to anyone from whom you have ever
received an email message including those who have contributed to vnc-list.
