I've received quite a high number of  messages with this and other 
similar messages inviting me to open the attachment.  I've also received 
messages from people to whom I've never written saying that I sent it to 
them.  When I look at the page source I find that they were sent from 
somebody else who has said that they were from me, but has a different 
IP address.  It will pick up your name from somebody else's files and 
send this worm on your behalf.
