The message came direct to me, but since I don't recognize the
icomcast.net address in the header, I suspect someone either currently or
previously subscribed to a list I was on has the virus.  Could be anyone,
but I thought I'd start with the two lists I'm most active on.

Klez headers are always altered (Return-Path:, Subject:, From:), but Klez
can't alter what the mail servers put on the messages.  So it definitely
came from someone using comcast.net. That's about all we can say for the
moment (and be correct).
