	On my computer I have Norton AntiVirus set to scan each incoming e-mail 
for viruses. It notified me that an attachment to a message sent to this 
group had a virus. The message header apparently read New Publication 
--Murray's Museums Their History and Their Use. The Norton  alert notice 
said that the virus was in attachment unk0000.unk to the above message and 
that the virus was something called a WScript.kakWorm. I had Norton 
antivirus delete the entire e-mail message and attachment so I can't 
provide any more information. People might want to be very careful about 
opening the attachment to anything that has a title similar to the one 
given above.
