Yes, both to and from are drawn from address book...

All the viruses now operate this way. If you get infected, it then uses your address book to send off copies of itself with a To address from your address book AND another from address from your address book, so 1. They can't tell that you have a virus or be able to warn you that you have a virus and 2. The likelihood of two people you know knowing each other is well, so the virus has a good chance of being from a recognizable email address.
Always use a virus protector and don't open attachments unless you are expecting them.
Or use a Mac like I do for saabnet.com work... natual virus protection. :-)
