	Not necessarily.    A virus can use someone elses address to
send mail  --  not necessarily the address of the machine
infected.


	This particular virus has been making the rounds for several
months  --  most often from Microsoft and sometimes with an HTML
message that looks extremely legitimate.

	I have received an average of 20-such Microsft (MS) emails
daily, each with a file that is about 150K.    Microsoft is Not
the Only Bogus Sender of this virus  --  others legitimate
looking return addresses have been used.


	My ISP was notified  --  believe I sent Derrick a BCC of that
email  --  and when I called them I was simply told:    "Tough it
out"    in Those Very Words!

	I don't feel so bad.    On one of the DigiCam newsgroups,
someone claimed to get  *2,000*  such emails in one day  -- 
maybe a typo!
