Default Seeking sample of Fizzer worm

If anybody has a plaintext copy of an email carrying the Fizzer worm, could
you possibly compress and send it to me? This relates to research involving
renattach.

I thought renattach wasn't actually a "virus scanner, hence no def files
to update".

That's correct. I don't need the sample for the attached binary, I need it
for its header format.

The difficult aspect of my software is making sure the MIME component
correctly parses both valid and invalid MIME. The invalid MIME is the hard
part; that's where I need examples to look at.
