Its not spam...its a virus...
and its obviously reading several (most like win) mail lists on infected
machines and resending itself..
the .xls.pif extensions to the file should warn anyone DO NOT OPEN..
expect more to come...grin an bear it....
and "keelhaul the varmints" if you can catch them..
best regards to all

Subject: why cant this list clean up the spam!!??
I just got two copies and over the last 36 hours i have gotten 8 or 9
copies of the SAME SPAM!! all or virtually all of I believe from this
list because apparently you do not have to be subscribed to this list
in order to send to it!
it is enough to make me consider subscribing to the censored list...
it strikes me as strange that the internet engineers main discussion
list has been allowed to turn into the worst spam sewer on the net of
the 30 or so lists i subscribe to..... the trash and the garbage and
the maintainance of virus infected files is absurd! haven't you all
enough! or are all the rest of you subscribed to the censored list?
