probably nothing of importance, I'd just delete it.

If you have an attachment named "hey you.mht", it may very well be a virus,
especially if it came in an e-mail bounce message and you didn't send a
message titled "hey you". It may be innocuous, but I would be very
suspicious and *not* open the attachment, nor view the e-mail in HTML
format.

Attachments of the form "ATT#####.htm" are usually the HTML-format version
of a message. You see this as an attachment when you view the message in
plain text. It isn't normally anything to worry about. However, in a
message that is already fishy, I wouldn't take any chances.
