The other explination I got for this email virus was that it was a problem
with the MIME implementation of some mailer.  It somehow allowed the mail
program to recieve and automatically save a file--maybe even uudecode and
execute it.  The big problem was that it didn't do any checking on the
file to be created and could be tricked into overwriting autoexec.bat or
any other file.
