299505 2004-12-04 00:54:00 Most likely one of your "friends" has an infected PC.

But the virii is possibly mutated and not working correctly. It's probably harvested all the address book email contacts and using it's own SMTP mail program is sending (or trying to send) a copy of itself to all, as BCC: (hence you don't see the list).

Paste the full headers back here (remove all your personal details if their are any) and we could possible get closer to an explanation.

Right-click the email in the upper pane and select "properties". That's the full (hidden) info.

299507 2004-12-04 03:33:00 It has come from the US/Canada region.

Its also probably spam in origin that has "gone wrong" and not attached you free offer for some enhancing medication. Perhaps you should complain?

299508 2004-12-04 03:36:00 I will complain,was hoping it would be something that would sharpen up the little grey cells;) Thomas (1820)
299509 2004-12-04 03:38:00 If it's turned grey you really do have a problem? godfather (25)
299510 2004-12-04 04:36:00 Better not say any more on that,may upset the natives;) Thomas (1820)
