This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

The SULFNBK.EXE warning is not accurate.=20

There *is* a virus/worm which propogates through corrupted copies of the
SULFNBK.EXE file. However, this file is a standard part of the Windows
installation. If you have a copy of SULFNBK.EXE in the windows\command
directory, it is almost certainly not infected. If you have a copy anywhere
else, it probably *is* infected and should be deleted.=20

<http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/sulfnbk.exe.warning.html> has
more information.=20
