pete at twisted.org.uk - W32/Bagle.E at mm

[gerald davies]

nope.  i'm not thanks :)  i don't use windows, but there probably are users 
here that do.  it was more of a warning.

i'm guessing, with the way these things spread, that its someone connected 
to this mailing list.  i know that the sender isn't always the real sender, 
but they often use legit entries in the address books.

unless of course it genuinely was someone trying to get lucky by targeting 
the list.

oh well.
