Another dumb question, this time for the security types:
Recently I've been getting messages like the following. I did not send
either of the original messages these reference, especially not at 1 AM and 4
AM in the morning. Stranger yet is that the first message says I sent an
email to my remailer (
vaughn@nakota-software.com) which was (wisely) rejected
by that service. I'm not knowingly using ".cpl" attachments; isn't this a
Windows thing? And I definitely didn't (intentionally) send anything to the
Russian address in the second message. Any ideas?
