Interestingly I was able by using forward to see the header.  But was very
confusing.  The from was in the header from the yahoo list server from the
board where the message was posted but in PMMAIL's preview mode it showed a
persons name and E-mail address which wasn't in the header. The subject line
was deleted when .msg file deleted by McAfee in the PMMAIL dropbox folder.
New subject was "3K" which was about the size of the message.

Since I had McAfee delete the message, just like you,  I couldn't open it.

I also got the same message with text in the normal folder I direct messages
from the group to and it was not infected.  It seems that because the virus
is a worm, it sent itself as a separate message to everyone on the Yahoo list
but the original message was not infected.  I would have thought Yahoo would
have virus software to stop virus from being sent via their server.

Actually I received two copies of the infected E-mail and just one copy of
the original that was not infected.

The virus was just identified by McAfee yesterday 5/9.  But it is a variant
of an older virus and is detected by McAfee in a data file update back in
2/00 as I recall.
