Whether true or not, this isn't the place for supposed virus warnings. I
seem to recall something in the introductory materials for the list
reminding you that if you find something like that, and you feel that you
really must share it with the list, you should send it to the list
administrators first.
Personally, I generally forward virus warnings to the abuse address of
the ISP of the person who sent it to me - they're much better at
"reminding" their customers not to forward any more virus warnings than I
am, since they have more permanant means at their disposal.
