Well, I think it is good that we did get warned. But
filing criminal prosecutions goes a bit far if one
isn't sure if the person who has sent the email is the
one who created the virus. As a matter of fact, the
sender might not even know that his/her mail-tool has
writen an email to other people. The virus could scan
all emails in any of your folders for the sender's
address, CCs, etc and then send an respons (which
makes it look related to emails that you have already
received) back with a virus attached.
