Got one too a few hours ago.
Mark Dalal's email address noted as sender in the mailinfo (while the sender in my 
reader gave a "noreply" + my isp as sender). Whether it means Mark is infected, or 
just got his address stolen I don't know.
(The same password that others reported).
Just deleted it.
My McAfee virus scan didn't find anything wrong with the attached "Message.zip"-file.
