It wasn't from me. FWIW, I've been getting more "infected" email myself than I used to, I think it started in April with:
w32.klez.h@mm.html" target="_blank">http://www.sarc.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.klez.h@mm.html
From an email about it on a list I belong to:
> Klez has the ability to disguise the From field by selecting an address found on the victim's computer. A mass-mailing worm, it selects email addresses from files found on the victim's hard drive and uses those addresses to "spoof" or disguise the actual source, so the apparent victim may not be the actual sender. This form of identity theft is sowing confusion and distrust.
