Thanks to those who beat me to the punch in responding to this.  I think
Michael Trittipo diagnosed it correctly.  SEELANGS is not responsible.

By the way I posted briefly on the subject of SEELANGS and virus messages
just a little over a month ago.  If you missed that post, you can retrieve
a copy by sending the command:

GETPOST SEELANGS 17288

in the body of e-mail to:  LISTSERV at LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU

If you're too busy to do that, here's the last paragraph from that post:

--- Begin ---

Finally, please know that LISTSERV automatically strips all
attachments from messages sent to SEELANGS, so even if a
list member's computer was infected and sent a virus to the
list as an attachment, it would not be distributed to you
via this list.

--- End ---

Thanks.
