    Right off hand I would say one of the few people who have your email address is infected with the Sobig virus. It has it's own emailer, it just needs an address book to look at. More on this here.

    BTW, that email came from someone who uses a ISP owned by NuVox Communications, Inc. in Greenville, SC.
