I can't confirm in this specific case but as far as I understand these
email-worms often uses VisualBasic in conjunction with some autostart
function. Microsoft has not or were not allowed to include these features on
the mac-platform. The only viruses in recent time for mac is macro-viruses
infecting Word document. But your mac CAN spread other viruses, for example
email worms.
My last virus infection was in 1990, I think, or actually not a infection,
my Disinfectant init discovered the virus and disinfected it. Oh that sweet
System 6 days...
