I've looked through the headers, no attachments other than an encryption
key.  Virus must have already been there.

Those stupid *^@&)))C@ virus scanners VERY frequently identify
non-infected mail as the source of a virus.

I've just been through a brew-ha-ha about this.  Someone was convinced we
were repeatedly sending him virii, even though we use Horde:IMP webmail
on Linux (Sendmail, Cyrus SASL) and it all goes through a anti-viral
milter.  Management was in a tizzy, wanted to know how this could happen,
blah blah woof woof.  I dutifully scanned the local Win32 PC's, and guess
what, found nothing.

Turns out the guy installed an infected shareware package on his own
machine.  But the anti-viral please-make-me-feel-oh-so-safe-when-Im-not
was "randomly" selecting new mail messages as infected.

I don't want to start a thread about anti-viral software, it just isn't an
interesting topic.  But rest assured, you didn't get the virus from this
list.
