No, I doubt it's in Yahoo. It's almost certainly on the computer of

someone who's on this list, and it's responding to the emails from the list

that person receives. You notice that it comes from a person, not from

Yahoo. I'm fairly certain that this list doesn't allow attachments, which

is how the virus propagates. Pat has the membership list turned off, so I

can't check, but there is probably a Charline on this list. I got

two this evening, but my anti-virus also, but my antivirus software caught

them.

BTW, the new Norton Antivirus checks your *outgoing* mail for viruses as

well, which is handy, since otherwise, you may have no way of knowing

you're infected. BadTrans, as we've noticed alters the email address so

people can't reply to you successfully.
