You should check allot closer in the headers of that message. The "potential virus" in question is undoubtedly klez.h (info on this worm http:[EMAIL PROTECTED] )
Although on the outside it may appear that it is pretty simple to tell where this email came from it is not. That is klez.h's specialty. I have checked, checked and of course rechecked my system for this virus (worm) with no "luck" of finding anything although I get about 30 attempts at infection (and about the same number of people claiming that I tried to infect them) a day in my email, in fact the next message in my inbox is from myself to myself with an attachment called test.bat which is undoubtedly another attempt at infecting another (my) system. This worm is very malicious and spreads very wildly. I in no way intentionally tried to send this worm to ANYONE and never would. If you see it fit to remove me from the list I would understand although be heartbroken. Even if that is the solution you come to it will not stop these attempts. This worm is sitting somewhere on someone's machine with your email address, as well as mine, in it's list of random Sender's and Recipients. I go through a list of emails everyday from people saying I sent them a virus apologizing and reassuring people that it was NOT me who sent these emails. hopefully (sometime soon) this problem will be remedied. Until then please accept my apologies and rest assured that, although very possible yet highly unlikely, no one (especially me) on this list would want to compromise their subscription. I haven't been subscribed that long but I, and I'm sure the rest of the subscribers, love this list.
