I believe this is the "Sircam" worm.  At 1.6MB, the three copies
I've received to date (all from anonymous machines on the @home cable

  The "From:" address is clearly faked, but it does seem to be
consistent.  If you can have that address blocked at your ISP, you
won't see these (and won't even download them).
