this is not happening on my pc, its happening
on my sisters, she opened a email with a link
that she thought a friend sent to her, and the
email somehow sent its self to me and at least
3 others that i know of at this moment using
her email address as sender.

the mail is this with title "Hello :D" without the
""

roused genius to production, but because the
