One identifying feature I noted in the two malware emails I have received was the the purported "sender" (a member of this list) had their sender email listed with an "&" symbol instead of the usual "@"

I too discarded a message, purportedly from Elizabeth Compston and appealing to view her presentation. Sounds like the mailing list has been compromised.

I have noted the same and also allegedly from me, quoting a recent message

of the line know to never open suspicious links in emails or zip files.

Hi everyone.

Two recent emails to the chatline, with Azure kingfisher in the subject
line, purporting to come from me have suspect files attached to them.
Delete them without opening.
