I received the same from Jim McLaughlin <dearborn@voyager.net>
but it came thru with no detectable destination address. Luckily it came
in on a Linux box and didn't do anything. I have also gotten it from a
few junk mail lists that always seem to end up with addresses from
harvesters.  My advice use Norton Anti-Virus and set your mail client
permissions accordingly. Or just make sure you scan EVERYTHING that
comes in or out of your machines.
