I saw it also, did others receive a message today with the virus attachment?

One copy was sent to info-performer but it didn't get past the
spam/virus filters. It was from "allan++at++gmx.de" (forged) and relayed
through mel-rta7.wanadoo.fr. The relay may also be forged but users at
wanadoo.fr, you should run a scan on your system.

I received three copies in total (same source); they looked to be sent
directly. Probably this virus looks through an infected user's mail
folders for target addresses.
