The zip file contains a virus exe file with a name that hides the exe part at the end of a LONG list of blanks so it look innocuous. Delete it! (or perhaps isolate and encrypt the message so it does not get seen by Wine/WindowZ and get executed). Apparently someone on this list has an infected computer and the virus is pounding its way through all the addresses it can find. It seems to be sending fresh copies out to and impersonating any email address it finds. In one case the message looks like a bounce but was targeted at me. Because of the way the simple mail transport engine works in the virus SPAM tools may well notice it as 'trouble' Of interest searches on symantec and other sites do not find this one yet as best I can tell. -- T o m M i t c h e l l /dev/null the ultimate in secure storage.
