Re: (no subject)

unless its from abuse@cox.net regarding a cox.net user account, don''t open
it, just forward it to the abuse dept of the originating isp and cc a copy to
abuse@cox.net.

I've gotten one of those as well and the file is a Trojan disguised as a text
file.

It would help to see all the header info as well.
