I think that we all need some clarification on this issue.
This particular virus "constructs" email messages using real addresses
as "from" addresses. they aren't really from the sender as listed. I
happen to know Bill Maryott and just talked to him. He confirms that he
did not send the message and has current a virus scanner.
Any message that looks strange should be scanned. *Everyone* should have
a virus scanner.
