Check the headers.
Bugbear is the virus.
It may take any address and recipent of any poster who has sent mail to 
any list this person subscribes to and mix them.
All posts that the infected email client has stored for any time can be 
used.
Mac users are not infected by bugbear, pc users should check that their 
virus-def's are up to date and should not subscribe to mailing lists 
without virus protection of some kind. Removal tools are freely 
available for this pc virus.
