I am a member of this list although I mostly lurk.
The earlier note from Paul Williams contained an attachment that, I
believe, contained a virus payload. My note did not contain an attachment.
If you had read my note, you would see the information about the earlier
note and a URL with information on what I believe to be an infected
attachment. If you did not receive the note I described, someone did you a
favor and filtered it out. In which case, don't worry about it. While you
are about it, learn a bit more about how viruses propagate.
And, as I said in that earlier note, it is the nature of this virus that
Paul Williams does not have it but that he knows someone who does. And, I
suspect, someone who is on this list.
