Edited to protect any innocents.
Obvious forgery (supposedly from microsoft.com)
I'm using ZoneAlarm MailSafe -> .exe changed to .zl9
It tries to start the attachment exe automatically (Outlook Express)
- - it asks me if I want to save or start the zl9 file but I don't know
what it would do to an exe.

Exactly how bad is it? The offending line seems to be
<iframe src=3Dcid:THE-CID height=3D0 width=3D0></iframe>

Html email was a curse to begin with and it hasn't become any better.
Can anyone give me that ascii ribbon sig?
