What you are all getting is carriers of viruses. There seem to be 3 common ones. An incomplete message containing unicode: a returned message, when you never sent one, and I forget what the other one looks like, cos I just delete them asap. As long as you delete them completely so you can't accidentally open the attachment, you're ok. The email itself is not a virus. Remember, if you are using OE or suchlike, you will need to empty your delete box to finally get rid of them.
