I stand corrected.  But it is my understanding (and experience) that if you
do not open it it will not harm your computer nor self-replicate, correct?
I too have gotten many since the beginning of the year and still receive
them from time to time, although since they are blocked I only see them when
I clean out the delete file.

Thanks for the correction, David... I appologize for passing false
