It seems someone decided to spoof my account.
If you've received an email from please ask me about it through IM before killing me hehe.
Opened my email to an undeliverable message that isn't in my address book.

Cat,
A lot of people are seeing those these days. The emails are fake, formed by the virus that going around. In all liklihood, someone who had your email address somewhere on their computer got infected, and the virus used your email address as a 'from' entry. While it's easy to send an email with a fake 'from' address, any reply, of course, will go to the real person.

This should get bumped.
By the way if anyone gets an e-mail from me with an attachment. Kill it.
I would send you an FTP address or put the info in the body of the message.
Please be carefull out there.

Me too (the undeliverable messages). Is that a virus too. It's to addresses I didn't send anything. I thought I had an antivirus program that protects me from all this stuff, but.....
People who do this need to be hung...
