Hi Steve
When a computer is infected with the Klez worm, the Klez's built
in email client takes email addresses from the infected machine's
Address Book and puts them in both the "To" and "From" lines of
messages that it secretly sends out. Hence you can't tell who
sent a Klez infected message just by looking at the "From" line.
You need to look at the complete headers for a clue as to whose
machine was used to send the message.
In Eudora 5.1, as in other versions, you show the complete headers
of a downloaded message by pressing the "BLAH BLAH BLAH" button
which is between the "TT" (True Type) and "Pencil" (allow editing)
buttons toward the left of the tool bar which is directly above
the headers of the open message.
