It is a good idea to refrain from opening attachments from people you DO know, if you are not expecting a file from them. It is a good idea, when sending attachments, to send a preliminary email warning the recipient of a file to follow. The email you received is probably a virus. The format of the sender's address (with a leading _) has been widely discussed. The sender probably does not know she is infected, and certainly does not know that she is sending out contaminated messages. (although she may now <g>). Please, everyone -- do NOT open attachments unless you are expecting them. In any event - NEVER open a file which has a suffix of .exe, .bat. .pif or one which has two extensions (like Myfile.doc.exe).
