when I got the message it was not with an attachment but just a normal
message
with a link in it ... nothing harmful. The error message that John�s program
supplies sounds rather like a configuration-thing than a virus to me:

Although I think it is harmless, it could (under very unusual circumstances)
have been infected with a virus on it�s way through the internet to you,
but I think rather not ... so it stays up to you to decide if you will open
it or not - the link given in it is featured here:

... and leads to a cute story about a Hemidactylus (?) traveling a long way.
