I've had this same message several times too, I'm getting one or two Klez
infected emails per day, I am also getting messages from various corporate
servers saying one of my email addresses had sent them a virus, many of
those were supposedly sent when my computer was switched off!
I can imagine someone's distress at being continually sent a virus (I'm
getting kind of fed up with it) but I do know that the one person who didn't
sent it to me is the person in the reply-to line!
An interesting asside about this virus, along with the infected file it
tends to send a randomly chosen image or html file off the infected
computer. Being nosey I look at all these in the hope they will give me a
hint who is sending me the virus - I've had some very interesting images
sent to me, it's surprising what some people keep on their computers! :-)
