I should have been more clear.  It effects *any* windows mail
client.  Just to different degrees.  I don't use Windows very often
anymore, nor keep up on email clients, but I can't imagine any are
paranoid enough to prohibit the spread of SoBig.f.

It's payload is in an attachment.  Anyplace that it can run will
spread it.  Though I understand Win98 and older to be immune.

That looks like a much more complete solution than mine.  Mine was
purely homebrew for my self.  I expanded it a little to work with my
mailhost (which hosts my Mom, and my inlaws).
