It has nothing to do with the list, rather, some list member(s) who,
unintentionally, passed on the virus. The virus actually changes the "From"
in the emails. Like most virii, it's annoying but fixable. All Windows users
should update their virus software and apply the appropriate security
updates. Or switch to a Mac--just kidding. 8-)
