After feeling left out, I finally got a copy under the guise of
"YOU_ARE_FAT!.MP3.scr". It was from a different mailing list.

Where I work there are all kinds of stupid restrictions--such as
thinking that the internet consists of only e-mail and the web, and
only having proxies to do those protocols. But there is nothing
saying that Outlook or Javascript are dangerous, they are encouraged.

I will concede, however, that I have not gotten this virus (yet)
through my work e-mail. Their scanning at the servers sometimes
works.
