Hi all.  I hope I'm not committing a faux pas or doing anything
illegal or bad in any way, but I'm reposting this for anyone who
doesn't keep up with TOL and may not know about this.  I have gotten
several of these in my inbox and was fortunate enough not to have
opened them.

Rebecca now:

Just to add to this, here's the alert from Symantec's website:

"Symantec Security Response today identified a new worm that exploits a
vulnerability in Yahoo!'s Web-based e-mail program. The worm -
JS.Yamanner at m - spreads itself to the user's Yahoo! e-mail contacts when the
user opens an e-mail infected by the worm. In addition, the worm also sends
these e-mail addresses to a remote server on the Internet. Only people with
an e-mail address that is on yahoo.com or yahoogroups.com may be impacted by
this worm"

Enjoy :)
