    I am using pocketmail which of course isn't susceptible to viruses at my
    end although I understand sometime last year the server got one.

     I did get two (identical) strange emails on Nov 26th from
     which said "Virus found in mail to you
    from <> The mail was not delivered. For more
    information please visit our website" and give an address, and then says
    AntiVir is a registered trademark of H+BEDV Datentechnick GmbH

    This appears to be a German firm (the website ends in .de). As far as I
    know, I don't know any one at mercuryspeed.com and I don't recognize biph
    as anyone's address. Has anyone else gotten such a message or do you know
    anythng about it?

    My email system has clogged up and will not retrieve one of the messages,
    although AFAIK, I don't have the virus. This is irritating because I get
    all the messages up to the suspect one over and over again each time I try,
    and I am currently using an 800# to get email when using the laptop and
    that costs me.

    grandma Rosalie
