It's a crude attempt this afternoon to reduce the amount of junk that's
getting through to the list this week?

Try changing the subject line if you get it again.

  Subject: [Gllug] Norton AntiVirus detected and quarantined a virus in a
  Subject: [Gllug] VIRUS IN YOUR MAIL
  Subject: [Gllug] Virus Alert
  Subject: [Gllug] Virus Found in message "Thank you!"
  Subject: [Gllug] Virus found in sent message "Re: Your application"
  Subject: [Gllug] removes viruses automatically

Automatic messages notifying people of viruses come in all shapes
and sizes, and about the only thing they seem to have in common is 
the string 'virus' in the subject - which makes them hard to distinguish 
from genuine discussion about viruses.

On the first occasion a virus was posted to the linux-lvm list after I 
started running it, I got ~200 messages back as a result - many in 
languages I couldn't read.
