Analyse the header of the message, it sounds highly suspicious.

Not really sure what to look for but there is an IP address of 80.195.11.190 in the message source. Looked that up and it points to some outfit in Amsterdam, I think ! Also an odd thing is "HELO JOHNSTON". I am not real sure what that is about but it I thought "HELO" was some kind of command.

Its not hard to mail stuff around from other peoples addresses, and it looks like someone has done it to spread a virus. Actually if they didnt be such dumbasses they could have done a better job.

Kids these days dont know what the hell they is doing!

Be sure to look at the sit named by M51DPS

It's actually kinda funny as long as you're using something different (therefore better) than MS

Yes, but "Stupid windows user" is a tautology.

I find most users to be pretty daft regardless of the OS. I deal with users daily and some of the stuff I get would try the patience of a Saint.
A user will get an e-mail they suspect has a virus, and they forward the fucking e-mail to me, "Hey, is this a virus ?". What can you do with people like this ? It doesn't make sense. It's like if they found a dog turd on their seat, they would bring it through to me and say "Hey, is this a dog turd ?"   :rolleyes:
