In the immoital words of the rabbit master Bugs "What maroons!" They  
included parts of their internal network in their public html, or they  
really fubared their web server..

Delete it without opening it. In Mail, double-click on the bar between  
the list of messages and the body. That hides the body, then you can  
select it and delete it.

Another option, highly recommended, is to set Mail to display only  
plain text by default.

In a terminal window enter:

<defaults write com.apple.mail PreferPlainText -bool TRUE>

Then if you want to see the html mail enter Option-Command-] in Mail,  
which switches to the next alternative (or select it from the View menu)

Makes your email vastly easier on the eyes.

In 10.5, however, predictably Apple effed it up a little, since it  
worked so well in 10.4. Sometimes I'll get a message with nothing in  
it at all, when it's supposed to show a url or attachment, then you  
have to choose next alternative to see it.

Also, in 10.5 this is a sticky setting for a message. Once I set it to  
html, for instance, that message will always appear in html.
