	What in the blue blazes do you think you are doing sending a
Visual Basic executable to a Linux mailing list?!?!?!

	What's worse...  Some of the content don't look good!

	Oh...  $#@$#@$!

	Everybody else!  This $#@$#@ thing is probably a virus!  And,
Michael, you are probably infected.

	This looks like it's trying to build mail and send it out to some
sort of list.  If it's like explore.zip, happy99, or Melissa it could be

Fortunately, many of us in the Linux world have been vacinated against
these sorts of things!
