believe the spiel about a virus ridden email from you. If there's no
offer to sell, click on a link or contact them, it is still not legit
mail since it was unsolicited.

You have what's called a worm. Try this:

Many thanks for your reply. I will certainly give it a shot. But
I do have an anti-virus program that should have picked it up. I
keep it up-to-date.

Chris,

Thank you for your reply. It certainly makes sense. I have an
active, up-to-date anti-virus program, so I don't see how I could
have gotten a worm.

Goodwill,
Luke

P.S. There are two towns in Georgia that require every family/home
to have firearms! This is not a joke. The crime rate is zero in
both towns!

Thank you for replying.

I probably didn't make myself clear. You know when you have email
returned because you have a wrong address? Well, I get notices like
that, but I never sent the email. I tried to track down the origin
without success.

Goodwill,
Luke

The virus sent the email and inserted your address as the sender. I don't
think you can track the email. I get them every day. I have web sites up and
they get my address from my sites.
