Yes, it's the "mydoom" virus.  Comes in the form of an attachment that
is not a *.exe but has an extension that is normally considered "safe"
such as *.zip or *.txt.  I suggest you update your anti-virus program
and don't open attachments from anybody you don't know.

Subject: [VANAGON] Anyone else getting this???

I really hate the "let's jump on the virus thing"... but I have been
getting
a lot of emails from andrew@gerry.vanagon.com containing the following:

SUBJECT:        Mail Delivery System
BODY:           Test
ATTACHMENT:     BODY.ZIP > This zip contains BODY.PIF which is going to
be a
trojan or virus of some sort.

Anyone else getting these or is it just me?

Thanks!
