Note that "his computer sent infected files" is *NOT* the same thing as
"he was trying to attack".  The vast majority of cases, it's some malware
that's gotten onto the machine and is doing the attacking totally without
the user's knowledge.

Remember - if the sender is known to you, they probably have your e-mail
address in a file (address book, saved mail, whatever), where malware can
grovel through it and find likely addresses to send itself.
