611365	2007-11-14 04:14:00	Got an e-mail from someone I do NOT recognize....although it IS a streaming radio station I listen to. Here's a link to the whole message: mail.google.com I am sure you cannot open that...but I sent it to let you see the addressee and sender. Some of the script is as follows: Majordomo@franz.wgbh.org <Majordomo@franz.wgbh.org> Tue, Nov 13, 2007 at 7:52 PM Reply-To: Majordomo@franz.wgbh.org To: nova-online-list@franz.wgbh.org -- >>>> This is a multi-part message in MIME format. **** Command 'this' not recognized. >>>> >>>> ------=_NextPart_000_0016----=_NextPart_000_0016 **** Command '------=_nextpart_000_0016----=_nextpart_000_0016' not recognized. >>>> Content-Type: text/plain; **** Command 'content-type:' not recognized. >>>> charset="Windows-1252" **** Command 'charset="windows-1252"' not recognized. >>>> Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit **** Command 'content-transfer-encoding:' not recognized. >>>> >>>> >>>> ESMTP [Secure Mail System #334]: Secure message is attached. **** Command 'esmtp' not recognized. >>>> >>>> >>>> >>>> ------=_NextPart_000_0016----=_NextPart_000_0016 **** Command '------=_nextpart_000_0016----=_nextpart_000_0016' not recognized. >>>> Content-Type: application/octet-stream; **** Command 'content-type:' not recognized. >>>> name="details_majordomo.zip" **** Command 'name="details_majordomo.zip"' not recognized. >>>> Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 **** Command 'content-transfer-encoding:' not recognized. >>>> Content-Disposition: attachment; **** Command 'content-disposition:' not recognized. >>>> filename="details_majordomo.zip" **** Command 'filename="details_majordomo.zip"' not recognized.

There's a whole lot more.....I only c/p'd a small part from in the middle so in case it's a baddie, it won't run.....	SurferJoe46 (51)
611366	2007-11-14 05:19:00	filename="details_majordomo.zip" Hmmm, a sender you don't know, a file (zipped)... Seems pretty obvious to me. Does the message tell you to open the attachment?	ubergeek85 (131)
611367	2007-11-14 07:20:00	wow, you got eyes too geekster, i too saw that!	SolMiester (139)
611368	2007-11-14 14:16:00	Nope...no attachments, nor is there any request to unzip or unrar anything. What bothers me is that I subscribe to the stream from that radio station, and it's a PBS (Public Broadcast System) link which is a very safe stream too. I have never had any mail from them..none like this anyway...and I just wondered what it might be. I think I'll send the whole thing back to WGBH in Boston and ask them to look into it. Thanks for the info.	SurferJoe46 (51)
611369	2007-11-14 14:53:00	I called the media-station in Boston, Mass . , (WGBH-Media) and they say it is not from them and it appears to be a harvester thing-y from some hacker . I sent them a copy of it thru my GMail, using the G-Mail virus vault ( . google . com/mail/?ui=2&ik=7b6f5ac6e2&view=lg&msg=1163c5b96a76b51c" target="_blank">mail . google . com) to c/p it back into the body of the mail . They were most appreciative and said it is making the rounds .	SurferJoe46 (51)
611370	2007-11-14 19:42:00	Bulletin: This makes me feel good . . . I got a response from WGBH about the e-mail . C/P follows: Dear Mr .
