RE: Win viruses

["Michael Engel" <michael-engel@example.com>]

Hi
Thanks for all comments. I got help and it looks like a misconfigured email
software (or is it a feature ?) which zipped the message and sent it as an
attachment.
The mail cover looked like a typical virus mail - inside the zipped file, it
then was normal.
But, as recently a virus slipped through our firewall, I am very reluctant
to double-click attachments - even after scanning by myself.
Wishing you a virus-free environment !
Cheers
Michael

Before you double-click to find out make sure you have windows set to
show you filename extensions. Attachments ending in ".xls.com" and
similar seem very common at the moment.
