Jerry, we have a problem. After I posted that message, I got a reply from
tmzz@tm.net.my saying

Attached was a 102K file named "billgt.exe" that I have no intention of running.
I don't have a virus scanner (because I don't run untrusted files), so I have no
idea if it's something malicious or just a joke, but he still shouldn't be
auto-sending it to Keelynet users. I don't know what Yahoo account he might be
subscribed under, because all the headers indicated the Myanmar address.
Really, I don't even know if Yahoo offers the ability to send an attachment
through an autoresponder -- it seems like such a stupid thing to do -- or
whether it's an attempt to misdirect for people too stupid to look at the
message headers.
