That explains a lot. I got the virus sent to me from two different addresses today, one of which was Faux_Pas, the other I did not recognize. I have never seen your email address before, though, and I don't think the virus would have spread from me -- I opened it in my online Yahoo mail viewer, but they no longer provide free POP3 service so I can't (fortunately) get the messages onto my own computer.

Anyway, my guess is that someone with your address, mine, and Faux_Pas's opened the virus. Anyway.

One other thing: My messages appear to have come with no attachments. Thoughts, anyone?
