There was no attachment in the message Ernie sent through the omega-list
with Subject: Something very distrubing, and
Message-ID: <1657952801.20040317172714@xxxxxxxx>
I suspect hcarvas received a virus from a third party that had forged
Ernie's name/address as its origin. The recent viruses seem to all
do this forgery. The best you can do to trace their real origin
is examine their Received: headers and find the origin IP address,
and a timestamp. The giant ISP who owns that IP address block could
determine who had that address at that time, if they cared. You can't.
You won't get the original author's Received headers for list traffic,
as the server strips them. But on the other hand, you can rest assured
that you won't get any viruses through this list server.
