Another way to fool you into clicking attachments
There's a worm making the rounds with a cute trick. When it infects a victim's computer, it looks through the victim's email and replies to all of it (including, of course, a copy of itself as an attachment).
Then, all the people who receive the email get a safe-looking reply to something they sent.
Your defense is to ask yourself whether you're expecting an attachment from whoever the mail came from.
