Beagle harvests e-mail addresses from your hard drive.  The addresses
are not being harvested from the list (I don't think) as much as you
think; it is likely another 3000-L user that happened to have you in
their address book (or mail folders, or elsewhere).

Beagle came out over the weekend and has a surprisingly high rate of
infection (given that it is so obviously a trojan when you get it with a
random attachment).
