unfortunately there are many "sub lists" that have grown up from the membership 
of the main lists ... in the three cases i mention, these were the distribution 
media, all affected addresses were collected from the main elists i posted the 
warnings to  ...

a word of advice to all my cyber cynn out there ... the world is a increasingly 
dangerous place, invest in a decent anti-virus package (Norton NAV and the 
current definition files caught this attack when i ran it on my frontline 
"gateway" system as a test ...) and keep those definition / update files 
current.  it will save yourself and those you communicate with a great deal of 
potential grief and aggravation.
