["Richard L. Hess" <richard@richardhess.com>]

Mike, Ruth, and all.



This is a new virus, reported on Jan 18th, that is another mass-mailing worm.



For details see

http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.beagle.a@mm.html



Fortuntaely it is relatively benign and apparently will cease to work on 

January 28th.



Cheers,



Richard
