Dear Ellen:

Much sympathy.  I recently had an extremely offensive spam, apparently
from a hotmail.com address, so I sent it on to the Hotmail Postmaster.

They investigated and found that it was being sent from some untracable
origin, but showing an apparently legitimate address.  It looks as though
you are a victim of something similar.  However, if you haven't done so,
it would be advisable to do a virus check on your address book in
particular, since that seems to be the place where such attachment virus
mailings seem to originate.
