This is a common occurrence when the mailserver has antivirus software which
strips infected attachments. Several of the current email viruses spoof the
sender's address, so it's not necessarily an indication that you are
infected. For good measure, you should make sure that your virus software
is up-to-date. You can also check with your mail administrator. They
should be able to tell you what the original attachment was, and assist you
in determining the true originator (who is probably infected).

Subject: question on spoofed email
I have received several e-mails from my own email address with the subject
line as follows:
Dear jleonard , as you reguested...
There is nothing in the body of the message and there are no attachments.
I did not originate these messages. Has anyone else seen this? Any
suggestions?
Thanks,
John
