I believe Sobig, in particular, spoofs its From address. There is a very high chance that these were not sent from those WG members, but from the virus/worm on another system pretending to be them. Not that this helps much when you're trying to work out whether to open the email or not! We've had considerable problems on a different list where the list address was used as the From address. Cue hundreds of messages to the list saying 'your message was blocked at the gateway'... Roll on the day of 100% free, 99.999% available digital signatures :-/. - Peter
