   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.

This is undoubtedly true.  However, the forger needed to know Ernies
email and that this list was involved somehow, even if faked.  There
is a fair chance that Ernie has or had a "guest" and should do some
examination of his computer's software.  Certainly anyone else that
reads the list via text based email (ye olde unix) can see that the
list is scrubbed nicely!
