all of them forge their email address, what is the point of warning the "sender." Even better, I wake up this am to 285 (and growing) messages below telling me that someone at skynet is trying to send me a virus message and it cc's 64 other people. Nice.
And at least one of those other 64 will next time actually get a virus, where all those addresses will get used to seed the address scraper. Remember that hitting 'delete' usually doesn't actually wipe it off the disk in most MUAs....
