Yes, it's evil people trying to spread nastiness. The attachment 
(probably helpfully removed by the listserver) would have contained a virus.

I find this statement to be hilarious, which braindead, incompetent, luser

and found himself alone with a technical manual containing lots of impressive
sounding words.

one.

I used to get a zillion of these things...

Not quite sure who was ever dumb enough to run the attached
executables, but some folks must have been falling for it, or I
