Allen, yep it should be a viable address, that person will just happen to have you in their address book..

Oh, and it doesn't mail itself to EVERYONE on someone's address list, just a random few..

It's actually a startlingly well written virus that could have been a lot more destructive than it is (ie could have performed the harddrive destroying actions every single time, instead of only 1 in 30 or whatever times)..

Hope this helps.. All the info I got was from Wired , if you'd like to read up more on the specifics.. One of their articles also has a link to a downloadable program that will scan for and specifically fix this virus.
