Sober worm makes a comeback

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win98.gen_discussion (More info?)

I've gotten half a dozen of those emails, today. Kind of a nice change
from all the SWEN emails, <g>.

"Hello,
First, Very Sorry for my bad English.

Someone is sending your private e-mails on my address.
It's probably an e-mail provider error!
At time, I've got over 10 mails on my account, but the recipient are
you.

I have copied all the mail text in the windows text-editor for you &
zipped then.
Make sure, that this mails don't come in my mail-box again.

bye"

Needless to say, I didn't open the attachments, named "your_text.zm9".
Here's CA's report on it:
