I can only guess. Have you updated your virus signatures today? If so,
and it was not caught, you should tell Norman. It could be a mutation.

So?

No of this has anything to do with my original reply.

As I mentioned it's often hard to say because the mail headers are forged.
According to the headers, the from and to are:

FROM: " Mail Service"
TO: mail-service user < >

but this is obviously bogus. Also, the way e-mail works, these fields
have absolutely nothing to do with the real sender and receiver of the
message.

I'd need to seen an unsullied copy of the original message, headers and
all, before I could do any more analysis. Even then these headers and
sometimes be forged.
