They came from a virus-infested windows box, infected by the kay-ell-ee-zee virus (I don't want to spell it because a spam filter will kill this email). If you read about thsi virus on the net, you will see that it sends out email using bogus "from" addresses that were taken from the infested computer's address book. Basically, some windows shmmuck has my email in thier address book, and thier box got infected. Hey, I feel I'm in good company ... I get virus infested emails from Alan Cox regularly :-) --linas -- pub 1024D/01045933 2001-02-01 Linas Vepstas (Labas!) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> PGP Key fingerprint = 8305 2521 6000 0B5E 8984 3F54 64A9 9A82 0104 5933
