Re: email virus ==> over the top

[Mike Tancsa <mike () sentex net>]

Probably not. The virus grabs a From address at random from the infected 
person's email in box.  So its more likely someone who has got mail FROM 
those people rather than those people. See

To quote,
"The "From:" address may be spoofed with an address extracted from the 
victim machine."
