As they are an old member, they were put on moderation, untill they fix 
the virus they have.

=====================
Fellow List members,

I'm terribly sorry to have inflicted this thing on
you.  

It's apparently a script, not a virus.  The Linux
64bit OS doesn't have many virii and I am running both
a virus scanner and a firewall on that computer.  It
started sending those 'lovely' e-mails you got as soon
as I opened what looked like legitimate e-mail from
someone on another List.

Please use a little extra caution.  Delete any e-mails
touting a 'Net Graphics Site', especially if they are
about 132KB in length.  You might even want to delete
any mail from me for a week or so.  I'm on a lot of
e-mail lists and mostly lurk.

Again, I apologize.  I take precautions, but this one
blind-sided me.

Everyone who downloads the e-mail and opens it is going to be sending it 
out.  I'm guessing Stuart will now be sending it out too. Apparently this 
virus only sends the e-mail to Yahoo groups though.

There is some advantage to the dinosaur technology of reading your e-mail 
with a text-only mail program (PINE) at the ISP, like I do.  I never get 
infected with viruses through e-mail.

Many Yahoo groups disallow attachments, which also happens to prevent
this particular "virus" from spreading.

Luckily, the default setting for TBird is (in Privacy/General) "Block 
JavaScript in mail messages".

Nope.  It just takes a while to delete it since the infinite Re:Re thing 
takes a bit to parse I guess.

I use Thunderbird and have had no problems even though I have had about 
a dozen infected EMails and did open one before realising it was a problem!
