I can assure you that in one case, mine, I AM NOT the sender of these
messages although my call associated with the ARRL mail server was used to
send the virus.

I do not use ARRL to send mail and I use a text-only email program.  Some
of these messages apparently contained html.  Likewise, my ISP has blocked
a number of messages to me that were infected.

Symantec is generously providing a free fix for this virus.  I have run it
and verified my machine is clean.
