Okay, maybe this isn't strictly an Emailer question, but since we use 
Emailer...

  We keep getting email that begins as shown below.  It's very long, like 
it is an encoded .wav file, as "Content-Type: audio/x-wav;" would 
suggest.  Is this another variant of the various 
worms/viruses/whathaveyou that plague users of M$ software?  

  Oddly enough, these emails all come to a customer service address which 
isn't published.  It's only used as a return address when someone 
contacts us through an online form.  (The address was published online 
some years ago.)

  Like other miscreant email it comes with different subject lines, many 
of which read as if they are legitimate.  Examples include: "broken 
links," "frame spacing," "some questions," "Window.open(url,"

  Our business, econweb.com, involves college-level education and the 
addresses given in the "From" field often appear to be legit, often from 
.edu domains, but a look at the long header shows that they all include:

Received: from c000.snv.cp.net (h007.c000.snv.cp.net [209.228.32.xx])

 where the .xx is the only part of that IP that changes

 cp.net seems to be a service provider who I will contact, but I would 
like to know what's going on before I contact them, in the hope that I'll 
actually get some assistance, so I'm hoping someone on this list is 
familiar with this sort of email.

  I can't decide if this is just random mischief, something else, or 
someone really hoping to bring us down but who thinks we use Windows 
computers (as if!! :)  

  Any insight would be very helpful.  Thanks!

John
