Looks like an xmca'er in Brazil has a mass mailer computer worm. Please make
sure to be careful about opening attachments that seem to come directly to you
from ANY xmca'er. Scan the attachment first. Make sure your virus definitions
are up to date

The worm is pulling out old messages from the victim's mailbox and sending them
to people who are in the addressbook. It fakes the return address to look like
the message came from someone else. The message i received is below.

(I thought it strange that Alfred's email address would be from Brazil (note
the ".br" at the end)

And if you are in brazil and you are able to read this message, better do a
virus scan -- allegro
