Thanks for the information- it's good as far as it goes, but I got a more
extensive list from SCA Cooks, with more information. Wanted to send it out
earlier, but I was busy, but this ought to be of interest to you all.

Regards the problems recently experienced the following extract from a
warning from my agencies computer staff may provide some insight.

"Any emails with the following attachments or responses should be deleted,
as they are potential hazards for the new W32/Sobig virus. Our firewall has
quarantined any .exe files that are included in the emails, but delete them
anyways.
