Someone is subbed to this list on a Windoze box. The above e-mail address is in the person's address book. So is the e-mail address for Compact.Macs, most likely, or perhaps your address, Andrew. The Windoze box is infected with one of those nasty Win32 virii that sends out copies of itself to every single person in the address book, and then fakes the reply-to field and from fields with other entries from the address book. Nothing to worry about, but at the same time, if you're on this list and have a Windoze box, RUN YOUR FREAKING VIRUS PROTECTION.
