Ellen,

I doubt that someone is impersonating you. What is probably taking place, is
that someone else has become infected with an email virus/worm which is
spoofing yours, and other's, email addresses in the FROM line. Old tactic.
Nothing that you, Ellen, can do about it except to keep your antivirus
product up to date and continue to practice safe computer practices.

For those of you receiving these emails, I'd recommend you forward them as
an attachment to the abuse area of your ISP.

Subject: [DNA] Possible Email Impersonator


Hi List:

Sadly, I have to report the possibility that someone
is impersonating me and sending out emails to List
users using my email address.

David Faux reported receiving an email from me with no
subject line and the words "foto 3" and an attachment
with a "cpl" extension.

If you receive a similar email using my name
(), please do no open it.

Ellen Coffman
