SC - FW: ! URGENT Virus alert by Global Support Center

[Siegfried Heydrich]

Let me say first that I am far from a computer expert. That said, I am 
unaware that it's possible to download a virus simply by opening mail, which 
is mostly, if not always text. Is it possible that there may be an attached 
file you'd have to open to download the virus? Or perhaps many corporate type 
computers automatically download attached files?

Anybody have any recipes for toasted hard drives?
