Can anybody tell me where this originated?<<

Yep...it's a worm. It infects Window systems when the curious try to click
on the picture attached...they get no picture, but from that moment on,
their computer is sending that worm to everyone else they send email to
(without them knowing about it).

Someone in your list had to click on the picture and now has it, and is
circulating it to others. There is no danger if you just delete it...the
email message itself does nothing...just the attachment.

Here's an excerpt from Mcafee.com, where you can get the full story on it,
and how to remove it from your computers (not you, Paul with your Linux
operating system...as you know, it can't infect your system).

============================================================================
==============================================
The modified WSOCK32.DLL file watches all Internet activity and attempts to
mail a copy of the worm, in the form of a .EXE or .SCR file, to any valid
e-mail address sent over the Internet connection, whether part of a e-mail
message, web page, or newsgroup posting. AVERT cautions all users to delete
unexpected attachments. W32/Hybris.gen@M is sent unknowingly by the infected
user.

Here's the link to that page:

This will tell you what to look for to see if you have it, and how to get
rid of it (it also writes into your registry so that if you erase the file,
it rewrites it).

What I need is a list of specific unknown
      problems we will encounter.

That's not exactly what I meant Harley. I kind of knew that. I was 
wondering which one of my subscribers sent it to me :-) Can you tell
by looking at the header I sent?
