-Caveat Lector- Ugh ... well, the fact is that many worms/viruses spread by randomly copying email addresses from the infected machine's address book (if it's running MS and Outlook or Outlook Express), which are used to send the virus and also to spoof the From: header, so it looks like it came from someone who was never infected. It creates confusion because the messages often bounce back to the spoofed address, sometimes with the worm attached, which spreads it further. So, don't worry, chances are you didn't send anything, but if you really want to be safe then use a decent anti-virus tool and scan your machine, and also don't open attachments or read your email in HTML.
