Martin, that is a very common virus. Don't blame Chris Wagner. It
probably did NOT come from him. The virus borrows addresses as well as
message subject lines and other bits from the infected person's computer
and creates bogus "return" addresses to disguise the computer it
actually came from.
Someone found some infected messages that appeared to have come from me
through the Elecraft reflector a week or so ago. They did not come from
me nor did they come through the Elecraft reflector. My system was
clean and has been all along. No doubt they came from some infected
computer that had some messages from the Elecraft reflector on it. The
virus used the bits to create what only appeared to be a message from me
that came through the reflector.
The most obvious clue for the recipient is that messages with attachment
cannot be sent through the reflector. So if you seem to have gotten one,
know that it's a fake.
