I won't answer your question, but would like to point out that clamav
rejected a similar (possibly the same) email as containing a virus, so I
never received it. I happened to see a message in the log last night:
01-10 20:31:00
simscan:[31231]:VIRUS:0.2670s:HTML.Phishing.Bank-553:66.34.204.100::

I'm liking clamav.
