The interesting thing is that Rixende is not in my address book, and my
computer scanned clean yesterday.  It's possible that the virus spoofed me
as a return address.

My guess is it's someone in Elfsea, but I know it could be anybody in either
Barony.

And if you got something from me claiming to be a songbook - well, those of
you who know me well enough, know it HAS to be false!
