Do be careful, there are various viruses doing the
rounds which arrive as attachments to a message which
is blank, however - it may be from someone with whom
you have corresponded and the subject line may be
relevant to your last correspondence.

The tell-tale sign is that the sender's email address
is slightly altered with the addition of an underline
prior to the name.  If something arrives in this way
do not open the attachment but enquire of the sender
if it is genuine (in a separate message, do not click
'reply' on the suspect message)

Some of these viruses sit on your computer noting all
your key strokes and email themselves back to the
originator.  In this way they may learn your passwords
or credit card numbers etc.

How could someone who is clever enough to write these
viruses want to do this when they could probably be
first class programmers in the real world?
