Some - indeed a lot of - viruses have the attribute that they can nick an e-address from an address book and pretend to come from that address. Then, if the addressee's AV software rejects it, it goes somewhere else to cause bother and not to the real source.. Christine

Chris I had one yesterday too. It was supposed to have been sent by me to an address I had never heard of and there was a virus attached. Fortunately my antivirus programme had quarantined it. Lyn

Very possibly viruses. You're doing the right thing in deleting them. I had a couple a while back - both contained viruses. Thankfully by anti-virus software was up-to-date :)
