Dear PLUG friends,
When I opened my email client today I got this message from my AVG antivirus:
     I-Worm/Bagle virus found in attachment
Sender: waltman@pobox.com
Subject:[PLUG] Hi
Infected file will be moved into the Virus Vault
Infected attachment will be overwritten with information about AVG intervention.


Interesting.  I hadn't noticed that that message claimed to be from
me.  Of course this virus, and many like it, fake the sender address.
I handle email on my Linux box using mutt, so there's no way I could
have been infected by Bagle.  Real messages from me to this list will
always be signed by my GPG signature.
