While good to watch for, I cannot recall if there is any harm in one just opening the message: can that in and of itself trigger the problem? I thought one would actually need to click on the links contained within the email to trigger this stuff.

So there isn't going to be a law that says I must have my penis surgically enlarged by a Nigerian prince on Viagra?


Damn.

Simply opening the email won't do anything, you would have to open the attachment.
