I'm getting them as well. Several a day. I just got one with the senders
name as Joel Cort, but the source said it was from the listerv for the
Vanagon List.

It may originate off of Joel Corts computer, sent to the Vanagon List by
the virus working the address book on Joels computer, and the Vanagon
list servforwards  it out to everybody. It looks like Tom Carrigton has
the software set to strip e-mail  attachments and that is where the
virus actually resides. The result is the message appears as
gobbledegook!! To be safe just delete the thing.

But they are a nuisance, even to have to do that.
