Yup, the crooks get more sophisticated every day.

While I haven't seen anything like this from this list, I do see it from 
personal correspondence with other people.

Always watch the To: From: and Reply to: fields. Hover over them to see 
if they match what they say and where they actually point to.

Be VERY cautious of any attachment.

There are a multitude of safe ways to deal with such things, but the 
best advice is "if in doubt, DON'T".

The body contains a reply to a message that I sent to the list.  The body has an attached document and the text of the reply is typical phishing text: “Please open ….blah blah”

Second, because it’s the list address and sent to an account you may have dedicated to the list and contains a message that you actually sent to the list, on the surface it looks more legit than your typical phishing email. So just be careful.
