Far as I can tell, it's considered a spammed virus. I'll ping the news
server people and see if we can get it removed. Meanwhile, you can bet that
the attached "message.exe" file is a virus.

But I was wrong. That "message.exe" file is a zero-byte file that doesn't do
anything.

Hi Gary,

It WAS a virus nevertheless -- before it was removed by antivirus filter (of
the MS server, I think).

I've got so many "expiration account" messages by email last month... :(

Come to think of it, I wonder if my own AV did it. S'pose it wouldn't hurt
to ping newsspam.

Done.
