I highly recommend a story in today's Guardian, which explains the whole mess
quite convincingly.

At the very least, until September 10 I will not be opening any attachments.

Subject: Sobig-F virus and our list
Well, it's not exactly off-topic:
My email address has been spammed all over the globe for the past three days,
carrying the latest virus (Sobig-F) to people I've never heard of.
Unfortunately, today I see it was sent to someone on our list, which makes me
think that one of our compatriots was the victim whose address book is being
pirated to send viruses. Any of us could get an email appearing to be from
someone else on the list with an attachment containing the virus.
SO...my suggestion is that we not send attachments to each other without
specifying what it is, so that there is no accidental virus-spreading.
