I think Dan Furbish <BarnOwl@world.std.com> might have this virus -- I
received an unreadable message from him with an attachment that wouldn't
display on my Mac, similar to others I have received in the last few days.

One thing I've noticed on all of these dubious messages -- the "from" email
address is shown with an extra underscore character in the leading position,
like this: _BarnOwl@world.std.com

So if you try to reply, the message bounces. I suppose this is a mechanism
for keeping recipients from informing the infected party.
