I use Norton's virus scan, keep it running in background, and last updated
it a couple days ago....so I hope it's not me...

B.D.,

Yeah, me too.  Someone obviously has a virus...and it's probably not you,
though you should update what you've got for virus scanners (you DO have a
virus scanner, don't you?), and run a scan on your system.  I get a lot of
these these days...it's, I believe, when on someone's machine, simply reads
their email addresses, and send out junk to all of them.  I don't believe
the attachments will do any damage, they ARE legitimate bounced mail, just
not really from you!
