Fourth Entry

The fourth entry in my challenge to infect my Linux desktop machine is a forged e-mail. Here it is, with complete headers:

Hi

As you can see, this message originated from bv.dnstelecom.fr (195.80.134.1) and not my desktop, so it's a clumsy attempt at faking it. In other words, this is a time-honored virus hoax and not a real virus at all.
