I hope it is old news that the so-called "klez" (probably created by Sephardic
music fanciers, harumph) virus fakes the "from:" line in a message, so things
that come with attachments, from people you know, probably contain "klez", can
infect you, and probably are NOT from the people who appear to have sent them.
