    Please note, a bogus message using my login identifcation ("szptom") was
    sent from a subscriber's computer today. The person's computer apparently
    has both my e-mail address and is also subscribed to the seafood listserv.
    So that is how the message most likely was sent to this listesrv. I was
    able to identify the subscriber's identity and have temporarily removed
    him from the list.

    Here's what the message (minus the viral file attachment which is not
    attached in this message) looks like:

        [ Part 2, Application/OCTET-STREAM (Name: "Dog.exe") 32KB. ]
        [ Unable to print this part. ]

    The above situation is the reason why subscribers to this listserv are
    asked to refrain from sending file attachments and to routinely (ie. at
    least weekly) update their antiviral software.
