This appears to be yet another of the side-effects of the recent rounds of
computer viruses and trojan horses going around. They are able to involve
people who do not have the virus, by grabbing their e-mail addresses from
wherever they can, and faking messages to people, and even to listservers,
which is where it appears to have gone in your case.

As always, be sure to keep an active antivirus software with updated DAT
(virus definition) files on your computer.
Glad to have you with us on LM_NET!
