That MyDoom virus is nasty. One of my coworkers got it from an email a few days ago. He opened the message which had as its subject "Hi" and there was just a "document.pif" attachment which he opened.

My god why oh why do people do this!? I would have thought that by know most would know not to open attachements from supicious e-mails with extensions like .pif

BTW the MyDoom Virus fakes the "From" line (as do many viruses I think) so the message David mentioned was not from Shrapnel. Also don't think you can get MyDoom just from the preview panel.

Actually are there any known viruses you can get from the preview pane? I know it is a theoretical possiblity but has it been done yet.
