[ale] [VIRUS_LDG: Worm.Bagle.CP] price

[Robert L. Harris]

  I get asked this often.  Someone who is infected has me in their inbox
so their virus picks a random name from the contacts list to set the "From"
and then emails out to another random name.  I then get asked "Why are
you sending me virii?" and they just don't quote get the idea of what a
spoof header/From: means.
