[KLUG Members] mysterious email

[Bruce Smith]

Some virus is sending out email forging you as it's "From:" address.
Probably someone running Windows who has you in their address book.
I see this happen all the time with people at work.

As far as how to handle it ... you might be able to track the headers
back to the origin, but doubtful, I've never had any luck with that.
