It's the Bad Trans B virus (
http://www.sophos.co.uk/virusinfo/analyses/w32badtransb.html ) that is doing
the rounds at the moment. My copy of the email had a different subject title
(something like "Re: oils-forever.com correction"),  it chooses a random
subject from existing emails, so any email from Marianne with an attachment
should be immediately deleted!
