Huh.. All our personal information?? Don't be so dramatic as it is is
just as dangerous. Yelling out Fire! in a crowded room....

I don't think that I have seen the email. So it may not have even been
sent via sourceforge nor flightgear but just spoofed the subject line
with a from address that was acceptable to some server.

Information required from Ted Clayton, to determine the case:

* Subject line
* Full headers

If it was sent via the mailing list, I should have received it. Unless
Google Gmail silently drops emails which contain viruses. Repeat after
me, Quarantine, do not Delete.

Gawd, I wish I could invoice for each of these issues.. comes up too
often and generally mishandled by people, both hobbyists and
commercially.
