Anyone have an idea why I would receive someone else's email? I didn't open the message as there was an attachment and it all looked suspicious so, I just copied the header, but; the recipient of this message(s) is definitely not me.

Hex edit the attachment and you will see it is a virus.

Download and install a free HEX editor and the open the attachment, which is usually attach4, scroll through the many lines of code to examine the file. You will see certain things in there that would say make calls to functions of the windows OS like SMTP, your IP adress, and outlook. If you feel comfortable doing this below is a link to free HEX editor and somewhat of an explanation better than mine.

thanks a lot, likuidkewl. That was a new one on me. I will download that as I have been getting mail like that from time to time...especially if I bypass MailWasher for some reason-or, just forget to.
