Jerome, et al.,
Sorry I haven't responded sooner, I have been on the road since 6/20 and
won't be back at my desk until 7/3. I don't have a laptop so I've been
trying to access internet via other folks' computers and servers.
The Seafood Digest does not filter out files with worm attachments.
The other day I contacted the postmaster for UC Davis regarding the message
from Maxine Walls. I was informed that the message was a fragment, but did
not actually include the virus. That particular message was removed from
the seafood archives on our web site.
Sorry for the concern that the subscribers have regarding this issue. We
have always suggested that subscribers install virus protection software to
screen any types of e-mail messages that they receive.
