What you got is a new technique for spreading infected files.  Someone 
has you in an addressbook or list of email addresses, and you're sent an 
infected file in the hope you'll open it and infect your system.  Of 
course, it probably won't work too well if you're not running windows.

I now use either a MAC or Linux to read all of my email to lessen the 
chance I'll fall for such a ploy, and at the same time I realize that 
it's only a matter of time before someone figures out a way to easily 
infect one or both.
