Hi Folks,

It seems that I inadvertently approved a message containing the
W32/Myparty@mm virus to the list. I apologize for this error, and hope
that it has not caused any of you any undue inconvenience. If you have
received this virus, and it has not been quarantined by your anti-virus
program, please visit
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.myparty@mm.html
for details on how to dispose of it.

Once again, please accept my apologies, it will not happen again.
