I sort of figured that it wasn't sours, because there are very few
viruses in the wild still, that actually post a non-spoofed 'From' and
'Reply To' address. So having your name on it, was like a guarantee
that you didn't send it.<g>

Most lists I belong to are set to strip out all attachments, so when I
receive email with a list identifier in the 'Subject' line... like
[SURVPC], and it has an attachment, it is usually sent directly to me,
and not distributed through the list, as this on apparently was.

The list owner might want to consider refusing attachments. I can't
remember the last time I saw anyone send a legitimate attachment to
this list... most people just upload big stuff to their websites, and
add the URL to the email.
