Subject: Someone on this list has a Virus

I hate to spam the list, but someone on this list has a virus that is
sending boatloads of emails under various names from this list.  I was
trying to determine which list it was from, then saw one from Wanda Prather,
and knew then it was this one.

Please check your outboxes/sent items folder and see if you have many emails
that you did not actually send, and then get the virus cleaned off your
machine.

I cannot recall the name of this variant, but it sends emails to those in
your Outlook/Outlook Express Address Book, and masks the original sender
with another name from the Address Book.

Subject lines like:

Re: My details
Re: Wicked screensaver
Re: Your application
Re: Details
Re: That movie
Re: Approved

And the body has the following:

See the attached file for details


Again, sorry for the spam.
