    If it's the Klez worm, it has the habit of picking two victims and sending
    one mail appearing to be from the other. A Klez worm was sent to Masayuki
    Hatta, appearing to be from me, and bounced, probably because the mail server
    recognized it. I couldn't have sent it, and judging by his address, he
    wouldn't have been affected either.
