You can't. It came from someone on the list who has you and the list in
their address book.

It is a warning to everyone on the list who uses Outlook/OE to recheck
their AV.

I have been getting some messages direct that appear to be from a
bugbear infected host. Again, no clear indication of who is infected. It
probably is not from anyone on this list, but if you have me in your
address book then it's worth checking.

With many of these you need to boot the system from the AV CD to check
properly as they are capable of disabling the AV package during a normal
boot.

Apologies to those on the list who know these things, but I am regularly
surprised by how many otherwise technically aware people don't know
them and have stopped making assumptions on such matters.
