My main point wasnt about HOW it arrived at my mail box. Im not
worried about the virus itself. I only use this email account to post
to THIS newsgroup.
The question was really about how it managed to find its way to my in
box when only this newsgroup has it.
Thats the reason why I asked.
So if none of you have had this particular mail then Im completely
stumped as to how its found its way to me via people i dont know.
