Heads up in case anyone else gets these:
Emails claiming to be from Bill Buckels, and containing a URL to MS OneDrive
to download a file are probably not legitimate. I've gotten three of these
in past few weeks.

I have always been baffled by this. your email address is like a phone number. If my call display shows my neighbors number but I get a telemarketer from India on the line, this shouldn't be possible.

Here's the header of one, should there be any interest.... you'll note that
the name matches, but the email address does not seem to correspond. Someone
is taking old csa2 posts and making it look like a direct email reply from
someone in the newsgroup.

Right. But doesn't the name that is attached to an email address come from your address book?
A persons real name is not part of the FROM: address. That should get converted from within the email application you are using. Wouldn't this mean that your computer is the one infected?

Sometimes the name on an email address comes from your address book but not always. I’ve had a number of emails that have names but they aren’t in my address book.
For phone numbers, there’s devices out there that can make a phone call look like it’s coming from any number. Often scammers use random numbers. Last year I had a couple of Revenue Canada scam calls, one showed it as coming from a grocery store, the other a restaurant. Took one of the calls on the hands device in my car. It was so bad that the 7 year old girl with me could tell it wasn’t real.

It's like writing on a paper envelope. You can write any return address you
want. And with varying levels of additional effort, you can mail it from any
post office. The From line in an email header can contain any name, any
address. Here's another From line from another one of the scam emails. It's
a totally different email address:
From: "Bill Buckels" <Lois.Pukansky@gatogordo.com>
Blame it on the Russians. :-/ That domain resolves to a Russian ISP.
