Hi Ann, With the proliferation of vir**s and wor*s these days, I would -Immediately- delete any email that you do not recognize of that has no way to identity it. You can always click on File>Properties>Details to see what is there if you want. Under no circumstances should you open the email attachment unless you are expecting something and know who sent it and even then, be sure you have a good anti-virus program that is up to date and filters your email. These are dangerous times and there are a lot of whackos out there.
