The virus does not come from the list. It comes from a list member who has the virus. It responds to the person who sends mail to the list. However, often the person will not know they have a virus unless we tell them. Some of the programs are missing the new viruses. . We should never open an attachment that you have not verified from the sender and them explaining what the attachments is. The virus will tell you to look to or toward the attachment. Also, A friend of mine just got a virus thru her msn messenger. Now we have another place of concern. Also, it is my opinion that after a few days of notices thru the list that a person has the virus and they have not fixed or corrected it, they should be unsubscribed until they do so. This is to protect the rest of the list. Winnette
