Virus Alert!
Please excuse this off-topic entry (and maybe everybody alrady knows this) but there is a virus going around the Internet in the form of email attachments. If you receive an odd or contentless message with a binary attachment, don't open the attachment. Delete the message instead. Otherwise, you may become infected.
It's also wise to be cautious about opening attachments even if the sender's address looks familiar. When someone you know gets infected; the virus can go through that person's address book or old email files and send itself to more potential victims.
