Probably just indirectly - you are apparently in lots
of address books of fellow reflectees. I've seen no
pattern like that.
What I don't understand is why so many people continue
to use Microsoft e-mail clients when it's those specific
programs (Outlook & Outlook Express) that are targeted
by 99% of the viruses and worms. There are much better
e-mail apps (i.e. Agent) that don't have "features"
which allow attachments to run without checking and
double checking with you first.
