Just out of curiousity, since I have yet to receive a single virus
containing email, why do you suspect a Museum-L lister?  I subscribe to many
list serves, and, like I said, I haven't gotten any emails with a virus or
even any message from my virus software of any suspicious emails.  Are you
just figuring that the odds, with such a large group of listers, are that
someone on the list has the virus?  I'm just interested, since I don't know
how these things work.  Jill
