Mysterious "confirmation" messages

I have, in fact, gotten the message with the "Movie" subject.  Just before
your email, though, I got this response from a helpful person on the list.

-------------
What you're receiving is a mail from the list server in response to a mail
forged by the Sobig worm... at least that's what it was when I received such
a
message a few days back.

I contacted Bill Shannon and he told me that it's Sobig, a worm which also
forges the from address when sending itself out. So if you ever sent out a
mail
to the list and someone has it stored and is infected by the worm, Sobig
could
create this fake mail and send it out, attaching itself to the mail.

You can find more on the worm at

I'm just glad it wasn't secretly my computer sending it out.  ;)  If anybody
else has been wondering, well...I guess there's your answer.
