Wait just a minute, John.  I never sent a virus.  This is the goddamn
MyDoom virus which CAN ONLY AFFECT WINDOWS BOXES WITH OUTLOOK.  Since
I don't use Windows or Outlook, I can't be infected.

The virus works by infecting Outlook mail clients, randomly selecting an
address from their address book to be used as the "sending" address,
then sends the mail to all other addresses in the book.  So, someone
who DOES have windows and outlook AND has my email address in their
address book is infected and sending mail as if it were me.

Before you go and start accusing people, you'd better get your facts right.
