All,
as I stated in my previous description, what the virus is doing is
duplicating a mail that you send - using the same header - wipes the
textmessage, attaches itse4lf as an exe-file and sends it to the same
destination the original is send to.
So you won't see an attachement at a mail you sending, you won't even see
the duplicate in your "send items".

Question is: If you receive 2 emails - or newsgroup postings - with
identical header, but one with reasonable message the other one emty but
with an attachement, what would you consider it to be ?
