I have just received a copy from I believe a reflector subscriber. Point to note is that it was only detected last Saturday, and updated signature files came out on Sunday - AFTER several of my colleagues had already received (and spread) copies. It looks like a losing battle against these virus people. Also this virus will run even if you open the mail or preview it in the preview pane - see http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS01-020.asp for a patch for IE5. Take care.
