The messages themselves, of course, contain no embedded objects, tags or
scripts and freelists wouldn't forward them anyway (although I have seen
two suspicious MIME encapsulated messages come through anyway). Your
system's behavior does look viral and, since there is nothing but text in
those posts, you're likely to be suffering a problem from a different
source.
So far, you're the only one I have seen mentioning this problem. Despite
this being OT aside from the suspect messages, can you tell us what files
seem to be growing or if there are new files being propagated on the
drive? What does your mail reader tell you when you try to delete these
messages? How old are your AV definitions and is your AV software set to
do On-Access scanning?

Hi Folks,
As I posted last night, I received two posts entitled "re: Embeded Objects
in Word 97" that for some reason, I could not delete. Since then, my C
drive has been filled up and I am now having trouble getting room to
download e-mail.
After extensive troubleshooting, I have determined thart the problem is
related to these two posts. If I delete some things and make room on the
disk, and then try to either delete, read, or check the properties of
either of these two posts, my C drive again instantly fills up and Outlook
Express crashes.
It seems that some kind of problem, possible a virus my anti-virus program
does not recognize, has arrived with these posts. Does anyone have an idea
as to what is going on? Are there others out there who, because of this,
are having trouble sending or receiving e-mail?
