Not just the HP list - my brother (the tech person in a small office) 
spent a couple days "cleaning" infected computers last week - I think 
the ".doc" fooled the people in his office. I ended up with it (the 
email, not the virus) a couple of times - once through a mailing list I 
belong to (someone I "know"), and once of unkwnown origin. It's 
supposed to be a really nasty worm (and a pain to deal with/get rid of 
according to my brother).
