[Woodcarver] "Price" virus

[Loren Woodard]

Merrilee:

It probably wasn't you that sent it at all.  If I'm correct in my thinking,
I believe that a virus on someone's computer can pick a name from an email
or contact and insert that name as the sender when it all actuality it was
another computer that sent it.  Sounds confusing. Does that make any sense?
:o)
