I didn't get that. I've heard that there are new viruses that will find a
recent address of received mail, and disguise themselves to look like they
came from there, so that you won't be suspicious of the address. Good idea
to delete any .exe files that aren't described by the sender. I don't
download anything. Call me paranoid!
