For your information, the recent post re men, women and tango that came from
my address was not sent by me, nor was it sent from my computer.

It appeared to come from quicksilver.net.nz, but I don't think it did.
This worm (there's information about it here, including instructions
(and a free program) for disinfection:
<https://www.sophos.com/virusinfo/analyses/w32bugbeara.html>) forges
the From address (something which is very easy to do in email).

However, there's still genuine information in the email headers, if
you look carefully enough. I'm fairly confident I know whose PC is
sending out the emails that I've seen (no guarantees they're the only
ones, but this covers the recent ones that seem to be tango-list
related, I think). There's no point in my saying who it is (they
aren't responsible in any way, and there's no point in blocking email
from them, since if it looks like it's from them, then it's probably
genuine email, not the worm), but I've contacted them, and with luck
they'll be able to find someone able to fix things.
