right you are Eric -- I read the write up at Symantec and came across this
statement:

"Whenever a user sends out an email to a person, the worm will also send out
another email to the same person attaching a copy of itself using a randomly
generated filename."

Since I hadn't received e-mails from too many different sources today, I
wondered if it could have come via the ST e-mail list distribution.
