Surfn, that's the same text that was in the spoof trap that I suspected was meant to install a backdoor, I mentioned it in another thread.
It had an 18k attachment. The smallest viruses I've heard of (not that I'm some great expert) are about 30k, but attack tools can have smaller payloads, as I understand it.
soggy, if you have your email address openly listed on your pages, another surfer with a virus surfing your pages will get those pages in his cache, and the virus strips emails from the cache and mails copies of itself to eveyone else with your email as the sender. When those virus laden emails bounce from bad addresses they are sent back to you. If you look at the header you can see the the sender and the From: are not the same.
More likely it's that, than a spammer spoofing your email.
The call about the computer thing seems like it could be something different but very important to investigate.
