Sorry for the off-topic post, but I'm worried.

Before I left work today, I downloaded my email (using Outlook 2000). The
dreaded virus email from hahaha@sexyfun.net was among the ones I received.
(Of course I have no idea whose computer it originated from.)

I immediately hit "delete" once I saw the dreaded subject line.  I did _not_
open the attachment, or double click on the email (although the "snow white"
message text is immediately visable on the preview pane in Outlook when I
first see it).  I am not clear on whether simply _receiving_ the email and
seeing it in the preview pane could have given me the virus, or whether I
would have had to actually open the attachment to get it (which I did not).
I couldn't find the answer on sexyfun.net or symantec.com . Can somebody
clue me in?  I'm don't know much about viruses but I think I heard that you
were safe unless you opened the attachment.  If so I'm worrying over
nothing, but I want to make sure.
