I would not worry too much about it. You know we beat a subject into the
ground here, just out of boredom(?) or something to pick on. The system
here where I work does a great job of catching these things for the most
part and they did this time. No Big Deal. I never knew it had happened
until the system sent me a message stating that it had been detected and
isolated. It probably was attached at a separate location as has been
mentioned here.

You guys have me so paranoid, I rescanned all of my computers
using Norton AntiVirus 2003, and they showed up clean. I am
not saying that the infected message could not come from me.

My Norton AntiVirus package gave me the same indication. Whether that was a
false signal I do not know.
However, I quit saying "never" and "impossible' a long time ago regarding
computers, the Internet and bright people who like to play tricks on
others.
