Dale,

Most likely someone out there has you in their address book and they have the w32klez virus.  This virus takes the names for their address book... sends out emails from people in the addres book... and makes it appear it is from you.  That is why you got an email from yourself that you didnt send.  Many others will get the same message .... appearing to be from you .... everytime they connect to the internet or run a "executable" file this thing has attached itself to .... like MSWord or many others.  Look at the end of the message in the contents for a line ..... "Xapparently from" ...  and you may be able to tell who has the virus (i.e. they are the real senders of the message).  This happened to me and I was able to pinpoint who had the virus... called them ... they didnt know they had the virus... purchased virus software... detected the virus.... got rid of the virus... no more fake emails from me.  I would have never know if I had not r! eceived an email from me to me... which I knew I didnt send. 

Also, Symantic (www.syamantic.com) has a FREE w32flex virus detector and erradicator called FixFlex.com (or they can do a search on FixFlex.com).  Works like a charm.

I replied back on the list so if any others of you get an email from yourself that you didnt send... this is most likely the cause.

Good Luck.

Donnie
