The source of the message contains this:

<iframe src=cid:W8dqwq8q918213 height=0 width=0></iframe>

When you search for the string "W8dqwq8q918213", google comes up with this : http://vil.mcafee.com/dispVirus.asp?virus_k=99519.
Apparently the worm exploits a bug in Microsoft Outlook Express, described here : http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/security/bulletin/MS01-020.asp
So only unpatched Microsoft Outlook Express's are vulnerable.
