RE: Can anybody explain this Klez Variant?

["Anders Reed Mohn" <anders_rm () utepils com>]

Klez has several variants. This is probably just one of them.

But someone, somewhere, might still have it in their address books.

What you had in your address book, does not matter.
This message came from a third party, who had your old address, as well as the recipients address, in their address 
book.

Taken to the extreme, this might be someone neither of you
know. Someone who just happened to have both your addresses
saved. (Some email programs save addresses automatically, for
instance when replying.)

Dunno.. I'm guessing it's just part of the variants spoofing,
but I haven't got much in-depth knowledge of Klez.

Cheers,
