I've had emails from people claiming i've emailed them with it, and i've been getting emails from other, normal hotmail users. I even recieved an email from myself! The only other strange thing is that it is in Spanish
stranger things have happened, or so they say
sorry for the weird question, but i got a few of those off my mates dad (hes a kool bloke but i was suprised when i got about 7 mails from him;))
as far as i (and others ive spoke to) are aware, it seems to be some kind of worm that gets to you and then posts itself to everyone in your address book.
like Susie said; get all your mates addresses and put them in your address book, then set your junk mail filter options to exclusive.
edited to say that I've also had them from people I dont know

and as for just getting emails from people in my address book, i recieve a lot of mailing list stuff aswell that i like to read
Almost no viruses that can effect me.
(that isn't an invite to try to make my Mac go 'pop')
Is this the message people are getting? If so I got some emails which contained viruses as attachements.
The message above is something about Jesus and how great he was/is.
