The fact that the "from" on the email says "Randy Stokes" does not mean it came from 
Randy Stokes. More than likely, especially in the case of viruses/worms, the sending 
program is "spoofing" the from-address with one of the other addresses in the infected 
machines mailbox.

Most likely you and Randy have a common contact with an infected machine.

What bugs me is all those sysadmins out there who still have their virus/worm filters 
set to automatically reply to the "sender" that "your machine is infected".
