Something like "why r u send this" on the subject line... can't remember exactly because I panicked and just deleted it.

Cranky Laowai, got a message from you about this but wasn't sure if you were alerting us to th virus or sending it unknowingly.

I didn't send the virus. I received it at the same time as all the other mods and thought I'd warn y'all.

It could be Klez. It takes random email addresses and pretends to send virus-laden emails from them.

My guess would be that someone received a Klez virus purporting to be from braxtonhicks and then was kinda mad/annoyed and sent you an email asking you why you're sending them viruses.

It happens more than you think...
