=====================================================

Just got a virus email with a well-hidden .scr extension. I don't run
Windows so no problem here, but for those of you who do -

1) it arrived with the subject Mail Transaction Failed.

2) it contained only a test.zip attachment.

3) the zip contains only one file named

test.doc .scr

so it looks at first like "test.doc" but those embedded spaces
(several dozen of them) push the .scr extension off where you may not
see it.

So once again: don't open unknown attachments!
