Yes and No. If you have wine installed you can run viruses almost as
well as the real thing, so yes, you could be infected. But, no, you
aren't infected. Most worms randomize the To: and From: fields from the
addresses they find on the computer they infect. So someone you know is
infected (maybe someone on this list?) but you probably are not.
