Another dumb question, this time for the security types: Recently I've been getting messages like the following. I did not send either of the original messages these reference, especially not at 1 AM and 4 AM in the morning. Stranger yet is that the first message says I sent an email to my remailer (vaughn@nakota-software.com) which was (wisely) rejected by that service. I'm not knowingly using ".cpl" attachments; isn't this a Windows thing? And I definitely didn't (intentionally) send anything to the Russian address in the second message. Any ideas?
