I got one of those too. You'll note that my address was a one-time datestamped one, not the one from my .sig. This suggests to me that this virus propogates itself by harvesting addresses from the host machine's inbox rather than from an addressbook. In all likelyhood, the purported from address is probably another inbox address as well. dt -- Dave Thayer | If trees could scream, would we be so cavalier about Denver, Colorado USA | cutting them down?
