Okay, then, Alin, Since so many have reported that the apparent originating address seems to be "sympatico.ca", and both Caveman and me have Sympatico addresses (maybe others, I can't remember), is it possible that one of us passed on the virus?
When I received the offending e-mail, the forwarding address was something like "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", not a Sympatico address. OTOH, no one else in my address book has reported that they've received a virus from me. cheers, frank Alin Flaider wrote: > It's the BugBear.
