I too received a message from Kay Missiter with an attachment. The attachment contains a virus, according to McAfee antivirus scanning software which scanned the message and the attachment. This should just reinforce the notions that have been repeated over and over again in this forum: 1) DO NOT OPEN MESSAGES WITH ATTACHMENTS, particularly from someone you don't know. As far as I know the Parkinsn list does not pass on attachments. Even if the message SEEMS to come from the Parkinsn list, careful investigation will show that it does not - it uses the names of the threads to mislead. 2) The Kay Misiter address is probably valid - just that the virus adds an underline character "_" before the name to mislead. This is a pattern that several viruses with trojans follow. I did write to her removing the character, and the message went through OK, but I have not received any response. 3) Obtain virus protection for your computer.
