Fact: some viruses can spoof the return address using ANY address in
the address book on the infected machine, whether it's your machine or
not.  You have to parse the header to find the originating IP.

Fact: you could have updated your ANTI-virus software 30 seconds ago
and still have a virus.

I agree with Kevin, Duane's message was not unreasonable; if I ran
Microsoft products for web/email and potentially had a virus, I would
sure want someone to politely inform me of it.

Now, let's drop this.
