I don't think so.

Looking at the headers...

We received it from mtiwmhc22.worldnet.att.net.  This header came
from our sendmail, so we can believe it.

Received: from default ([12.77.138.85]) by mtiwmhc22.worldnet.att.net

We can probably believe this one too.  Doing nslookup on 12.77.138.85
gives:  85.tampa-16-17rs16rt.fl.dial-access.att.net
So, my guess is someone in Tampa, FL is infected and they
were online around 7:28 PM local time...

These are typical for the virus and are mentioned in the
article about it.  So, directed as it may seem, it
appears to be a coincidence to me...  unless someone
deliberately infected themselves and let it run.
