Virus-looking mail

G'day all,
Thanks to everyone who pointed out that a virus is going around
piggy-backed on an email that I wrote. I'm now _very_ well aware of
the fact, so no need for more warnings :-)
NB - the virus is interesting, I think it's "Bugbear". On the 'net,
they say it works like this:
Step 1: Disable any firewall or virus scanning software you have.
Step 2: Find a random mail on your computer, attach some other random
From: address to it, along with the virus itself, and send it
to everyone it can find.
Step 3: Start logging all keystrokes, and start a small daemon on a
particular port to play them back to anyone who connects.
Fun, huh?
Cheers,
Luke
