The "virus" is implemented using JavaScript which makes up part of the
attachment.

The JavaScript specifically targets people using Yahoo Mail, and
basically, just the act of reading the message causes the affected
person to send it out to everyone in their mailing list.

This group is setup to not allow attachments so it won't replicate
further.through people reading this list.

This web site:

has some more information.
