promote Braid/A to "viruses.to.delete.conf"

Thu Nov 7 14:19:12 GMT 2002

Y'all,

    I suggest that you add "Braid/A" to your silently-delete list in
viruses.to.delete.conf.  I got the warning below from my own mailscanner
and I don't use a PC for email.  I saw someplace the other day that
Braid/A uses the same tricks as Klez/H to forge the sender.
