    	I'm sure many here would agree that this may be an old trick with
    a new face.  While I don't yet have enough information to confirm that
    this is the product of a trojan, several indicators seem to point to as
    much...

    	Outlook.  Guh.  The favored vector of trojan dissemination.
    
    > Hello!  We're writing to let you know that someone has sent you a greeting. 
    
    	The impersonal (and over-friendly) text.

    	Appropriately long URL that bounces you around and eventually goes
    to an IP address for dissemination of a binary.  Present most users with a
    long URL and their eyes typically glaze over and they just blindly click
    on it.  About the only thing that surprises me is that no '@' semantic
    attack was used. 
    
    	I'll have to see about collecting a copy of the binary.  Until
    such time, this should probably be considered a *possible* trojan that
    should be ruled out.  Fortunately, it's a Sunday, so we've got a little
    time before the Monday morning zombies come rolling in and contributing
    to the problem.  :)
    
    	Time to start a new pot of coffee!  Yay.
