I'm no expert, but I am pretty sure the nasty part of any E-mail virus is the
Attachment file. I don't think the E-mail message itself will hurt you.
Only the attachment does, when you open and release it. Our webmaster does
not allow ANY attachments to FOT E-mail. He strips them. So what gets
through is just the empty gun...no bullet.
At least that's the way I understand it.
