    I've gotten 4 more Yaha-M-infected messages from this same source today. I
    received a few at around the same time you did, starting December 31 when
    Yaha-M had not yet been listed. The sender must have one of the first
    infected computers. They may be a member of this list or someone who visits
    the list archives.
    
    Since the infections are still coming I've notified the administrator of
    zeelandnet.nl - hopefully they will hunt the user down and help them clear
    the infection.
