There's a new email virus going around today.

The virus--known as MyDoom, Novarg and as a variant of the Mimail virus 
by different antivirus firms--arrives in an in-box with one of several 
different random subject lines such as "Mail Delivery System," "Test," 
"Hi," or "Mail Transaction Failed." The body of the e-mail contains an 
executable file and a statement such as: "The message contains Unicode 
characters and has been sent as a binary attachment."  Variations in 
the body text include, "The message cannot be represented in 7-bit 
ASCII encoding and has been sent as a binary attachment."

So, as always, unless you're expecting an email attachment, don't open 
it.
