This appears to be a bug in Eudora that causes it to crash when receiving messages with malformed or non-standard headers. It happens not only with the Sobig virus, but with certain other messages as well. What version of Eudora are your users running? We have found that 5.2 and 6.0 are less likely to have trouble with this, although I'm not sure they have completely solved it.
