Subject: [alt-beam] huge attachments...
What's with you people sending these huge attachments to the list!?!??!
First some 600k .exe file, and now 300k .bmp's?
exe's should not *ever* be sent to a list, and if you are going to send
images, make sure they are about 20k max.. most schematics can be saved
between 5 and 20k...
save them as a 2 color .gif file.. or a .jpg

because aparently that user has sent a lot of mail to listserv's. This
person will be punished for account misuse, this person won't be a problem
to others after this.

Yes, it's a trojan.

However you won't find anything if you scan it.
You'll have to run it, and then scan your \windows\temp\ directory.
And BTW if you take a close look at the headers you'll notice that
"Robert Fryer" and "Ben", who posted the question about the simulator 5
minutes earlier had the same IP. Interesting.
