I seem to recall that Klez uses a subject along those
lines (among others), and 121K (mentioned in your
later post) does sound right.

Check the headers - it's possible it didn't actually
come from that person's computer, but someone else's.
Lots of recent email viruses have done that of late.
Question is, how does Mailman verify the email <->
computer correlation? Hmm.

HTH (a little late)
