Thank you Lionel...

Ben, from BCA software also got a virus containing message.  This was
my reply to him, and now to the group:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Very odd.... I did get an e-mail yesterday from someone that had the
w32.badtrans@xxxxxx virus.  Norton caught it and removed it.

As far as I know, there is no virus that can get to my address book,
as I use Agent (www.forteinc.com).  My Outlook, installed by MS is
never used, and the Outlook address book is empty.  If you check the
full header of this message, you'll see that my mailer is Agent.  I
bet the mailer of the spoofer is MS Outlook.

This person was indeed from the FT group, and so doe s the message
below  relate to the program. However, I do not recognize the contents
as coming from my HD.  AFAIK, the virus grabs tidbits from sent
message box, . . . and that is not one of mine.

Furthermore, my header is:

From: -= Chris ß =- <baudecb1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

and as you can see from below, the owner entered my name in his
address book as:

From: "C. Baude" <BAUDECB@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

which is an old address, discontinued about a year ago, as I'm now
DSL.

However, I do not understand how someone else, with my address in
his/her address book, could spoof my address.  I'll monitor the
situation.  From the header, I think the person must be a Sprint
customer, I'm and Earthlink person.

Thanks for letting me know.  I wrote a lot, as I know you would
understand some of this jargon.

Also, just thought of it, the virus usually places an underscore in
the return address, e.i.: _baudecb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx the one below did not
exhibit that feature.

Again, thank you.
