Actually, the subject line of the message bearing the virus attachment
was:  [MWForum]A very new website

The content of the message was:

"This is a special new website
I hope you would enjoy it."

If you have anti-virus protection, then depending on how your e-mail
system works, the virus attachment might have been stripped from the
message before the message was deposited in your inbox.

If you have an institutional e-mail address, sometimes the antivirus
protection on the institutional server intercepts and deletes the whole
message so it would not come to your inbox at all.

The message seems to have been sent out to the whole list, but if you
did not receive it, it means that one way or another, your system's
antivirus protection was doing its job.
