Rebol abuse - rebol virus??

Got a few message this morning talking about worm_mimail.r
Noticed the R extension on the file.
Has anyone heard anything about a virus with a .R file extension today?

it is a new worm I do not think it would have much of a chance spreading
as far and as fast if it relied on people already having REBOL installed
on their machines.

worm_mimail.R
R is only the revision of the Virus, not its file extension. The Q version was "discovered"
yesterday, so this one is the newer newer one.

That sounds like a reasonable explanation.
