Been getting for three - four months now, read the headers on them, they invariably come from rigglenix@afootinmouth.com.uk or some such weird address.
Two traced back to open public access computers!
sheesh.

Opening mail in plain text defeats this safely since you can then see where it actually came from originally, you can use a previewer like mailwasher etc., or like I do sometimes, I simply use my msn address at MSNTV to retrieve net mail and see what it is.
Almost worth the price of one plan as a virus catcher.............. :-)

MSN TV Catches all the diseases!

Figures doesn't it.....

In Peace, Randall K.

Ps..Be Wary - you don't have to open any attachments in some, the email IS the attachment!!!
