It's unlikely that the people from whom we've received these
viruses actually sent them themselves. That is, the "sick sender"
is not the person whose name is on the account, but the virus,
or "worm" in this case, program itself, acting without the
knowledge of the machine's owner. This is how email worms work,
and what makes it a worm instead of a virus.
