Dani,

I know Mark, and highly doubt he's sending out
viruses.  This looks like a variant of the Beagle
virus  (
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.beagle.y@xxxxxxx
).  I get a lot of these on another account.  If you
turn on 'Full Headers' in your email program, and you
examine each "Received: from" line you will most
likely see that it did not start from or pass through
wi.rr.com.  This virus (and many others that spread
through email) spoofs the "From" line in the headers. 
Who ever the virus came from is infected, and it just
grabbed two addresses from one of their folders.  It
could've been 'sent' or it could've been 'trash'. 
Mark is, I hope, an innocent bystander in this.

As noted, yes, be very careful with mail and
attachments even from people you think you trust.  It
may not really be them.

-- Marty
