HERB - possible virus warning related to mail on this list

[Jenne Heise]

Oops, I wasn't clear on that one. The message that I recieved from the
list seemed to include some kind of animation program along a message very
similar to the one described as associated with the virus that is 
described on the page whose link I included. The link isn't the thing I
was worried about, the virus descibed there was the one it was worried
about.  

We've noticed (the helpdesk where I work) that the virus tends to mutate,
picking subject headings from existing messages on the infected machines.
So, just be cautious about opening animation files sent to you ;)
