[birdky] Virus warning

Gary seems to be the latest victim of the new computer
worm that is spreading quickly.

From the linked article below:

"The worm arrives as a file attachment in an e-mail
with a variety of senders and subjects, such as
"Hello," and "test."" and "some e-mail messages
telling recipients that "the message contains unicode
characters and has been sent as a binary attachment,"
or "The message cannot be represented in 7-bit ASCII
encoding and has been sent as a binary attachment.""

Fortunately, BIRDKY screens out attachments so we
should not have gotten this particular virus, but
those of you (such as myself) that are on personal
mailing lists of others such as Gary should be very
careful.  PLEASE read the link below for more
information and be cautious of opening each other's
e-mails for the next few days with these warning
signs:
