I just got the message pasted below and now I'm a bit confused.
1--I'm on a Mac so my machine (supposedly) cannot be infected
2--I've opened NO attachments
3--I sent nothing out with an attachment in recent days and certainly not to
this person
4--Is [log in to unmask] someone on this list? Because it's not someone in
my address book
5--I've updated my Virex definitions this week!

Given the above, how would it have accessed my address book? or forged my
name? Any idea?
