Unfortunately, I have mistakenly approved a message that was a 
worm/virus.  The listed sender is James Love, regarding John Sulston. 
We regret this, and will be careful in approving further messages.   The 
info about this virus is available from the Norton web page, here:


http://www.symantec.com/
THREAT: W32.Bugbear.B@mm
CATEGORY: 4
W32.Bugbear.B@mm is a mass-mailing, polymorphic worm that also spreads 
through network shares. This worm infects a select list of executable 
files, has keystroke-logging and backdoor capabilities and will attempt 
to terminate the processes of various antivirus and firewall programs.
STEP 1: Read Critical Information
STEP 2: Update your Virus Definitions
STEP 3: Download Removal Tool

Sorry for the mess,

Manon
