I've already replied by u2u but for the purpose of this post:
The sender and recipient address are spoofed. It only needs the two addresses (ie. mine and yours) in the addrsess book of an infected computer and the mail could end up looking like its from me to someone. I also receive them looking like they're from other CS users but of course not only are they scanned before it arrives, I also delete them knowing that they're from an intermediary infected machine which is beyond our control.
It is good practise these days to delete attachements which are unsolicited - I do not send them without prior notification.
If you get one appearing to be from me, it is most certainly a virus. I'd love to be able to avoid the fact that it looks like I am sending them out, but until everyone who has my address in their address books has a virus-free computer I will not have that luxury.
