Most strangely addressed messages these days are elaborate spam or virus. As can be 
suspected from the "Projet des A�n�s.doc.scr" file that poses as a .doc word file but 
seems to be a PC program.

We'd need the long header of the message to find out how it got to your box 
(Command-Shift-H shows the long header).


On the other hand, we had quite a few random deliveries from our mail server at school 
at the beginning of times. That's where Emailer's unique "relay" command comes in 
handy, as it allows anyone to resend a message to it's legitimate destination in the 
same manner a mail relay would, meaning this only gets accounted for in the header and 
you don't end up appearing as the sender, as would occur by using the "forward" 
command, which would be confusing since you're not and you don't want to be the one 
recieving the answer.
