We believe you. <g>
The way these worms work, they steal the email addresses from Address Books
and html files on infected Windows systems and then use those addresses to
make it seem that they were sent from them. If you want to read the gory
details of this SWEN worm, go to www.symantec.com and click on Latest Threats.

It's a wicked, wicked world...we all suffer...so no more long, totally
off-topic inclusions in list mail, if you don't mind. It doesn't help anyone.
