    You have a virus. Which seems to be spreading through your address book.

    That virus' wouldn't infect me as I'm on a Linux box. Also I have no clue to who clydetravel.com are. I typed the url in the broswer but there's nothing there.

    EDIT: Oh it works now.

    I had a nightmare recently when even though I didn't actually get mydoom it spoofed my email, essentially meaning that I spent weeks getting messages similar to the one you just got.

    Run your virus software to double check that you haven't got a major problem, but if it comes up with no virus then it's probably just your email that has been spoofed, tricking systems to think you sent messages.

    The biggest sign of this is when no one actually in your address book gets a message from you but lots of unknown companies do.
