We had that at work and some fool opened it

that was 2 weeks ago and an I T expert came in and tried to sort it, He did not sort it all and they still get warnings poping up.

currently dispose of around 8000+ messages a day like this either spam or nastys like this using mimesweeper. not that expensive and most companys should have something like this in place to filter out the garbage nowadays.
