As I have mentioned to Sylvain (privately) this really makes me angry 
because it makes me look bad. If you look at the message source you can 
see that it has been spoofed (probably by the klez virus) This is more 
that a PITA but I don't know how to fight against it.

Thanks.

 From what I can tell this message has the klez virus attached so users 
of this list that use outlook should do some virus scanning.

Also a good article about this subject is at the following link.
