[RTTY] Virus scources

[Eddie Schneider]

They are coming in from all directions, a bit like signals on my
omni-directional beam :)

I just received two from W2JGR, one was via the [RTTY] reflector, t'other
direct to me.

My one from KP2N's came via the CQWW RTTY log robot at cqwwrtty@kkn.net ,
not via [RTTY]

The infected msgs are pretty easy to identify, at least with M$ Outlook.
There is nothing in the Subject: except for   re:   and there will be an
attachment, identified by a paper clip.
Unless you want to test your anti virus s/ware, assuming you have some, just
delete the darn things.

Tally ho, Eddie W6/G0AZT
