Many of the most recent virii <sp> have the particularly nasty feature that
once it infects a PC, it can send itself out to other addresses listed in
the address book on that PC, using one of the OTHER addresses as the "from"
address. If you receive a mail with a virus attached from someone, there's
a good chance the mail is not from them, but from someone else with your
addy in their address book. In OE, you can right-click the message /
properties / details / message source to see the actual email header to
determine the actual sender so you can let them know what their PC is doinjg
behind their back.....
