At the risk to repeat myself: Jos Van Roy complains he got one from
*me* in person (while my computer was turned off for *five* days).

At the risk to repeat myself again: Some virusses know how to
disguise the "From:" field of a mail. For example, the Snowwhite virus
puts "From: Hahaha" when it propagates. A few more lines of code
in this virus could easily replace "Hahaha" with another e-mail address
found by a robot.

If I ever receive this virus, I will try to analyze the headers to find out
the *real* sender. Most virusses I get come from an obscure
Aol' ian, or Excite'ian, or Wanadoo'ian, who's got our Archive
web pages stored somewhere on his computer.
Hope this makes things clearer,
