[Vwdiesel] OT but concerning members of the vwdiesel list

[James Hansen]

I've been getting them too Brian, but I had no idea they had attachments.
My virus eater just flushes it all.  How is it you are seeing the files
without getting infected yourself, as apparently Klez hides in copies of
files for replication purposes, or is that wrong?  Yeah, but the daily klez
files suck.  Have you been getting messages without any body, just a title,
and that don't set off your virus eater?  I've been worried about that some
as I am getting between one to five per day this way, full system virus scan
shows no bugs...
just checked, today's one from wormwiggler has a return path of
backintime at triton.net

 Tom, you listening?
