Yes, that is Swen.A, a particularly nasty little item. Not only does it spread through the mentioned email, it will also impersonate a rejected email, will post itself to newsGroups, and will attempt to spread through ICQ and file sharing services such as Kazaa (sp?). It will even pop up a faked error dialog on the infected computer saying that there is a problem with the email connection and ask for the Users account name and password.
