What you probably got was an attachment named "winmail.dat". This comes
from Microsoft Exchange (E-mail) servers when the server admin is trying to
push out MS RTF (Rich Text Formatting). The attachment will have all the
font and formatting info embedded inside. If you use a MS e-mail reader,
the attachment is used to disply the formatted text. Non-MS e-mail readers
just see it as an unknown attachment.

Hope this helps,

Howdee,
In the wake of the HAPPY virus warning I got a suspicious e-mail attachment
this morning, something like WINSOK.DAT.
I'm on Macintosh so this don't fit and threw it away. Everyone on the list
better look at there files like the update said cause this list generates
98% if not higher of my e-mail and as a result the list could be no
infected.
