are you sure it's Nimda you're looking at?

i'm pretty confident it is. on the basis of the mail tags i have seen
(using the nimda, not the nimda.e, content boundary tag) from infected
machines, together with the scan pattern, it appears to be nimda, not
nimda.e. saw some nimda.e, of course, but this appears to be genuine
nimda mostly, with some nimda.e thrown in for good measure.
