    Possibly fake email sent from [email protected]

    I got the following email in my mailbox today. Didnt open the attachment because I've been getting similar emails with attachments infected with probably that win32 virus.

    Email Address: [email protected]
    Subject: Important

    Contents:
    This is a multi-part message in MIME format.

          This is just another one of those virii-generated e-mails, where [email protected] was in the addressbook of someone who was infected, and reproduced and sent itself under random addressbook names.

          Check the headers and you'lll probably find it's from a completely different continent, let alone country.
