It is a virus/worm. And the file name may be any random collection of
letters. I get quite a lot of them. I also get a lot from "Ha Ha Ha",
Snow White etc.. in English and Spanish.
Sadly, I have to debug my daily mail download before I open any of
them. Anti-virus progs don't seem to be able to pick the virii while
they are still encoded for email transport. Anything suspicious, and I
look at the *.cnm file with a text editor first, before I open it, even
in Arachne. Yes, I know that most of them are 32bit-Windows-only virii, but
one can never be sure.
We live in a jungle.
