Make sure you save to disk and **virus scan** any "exe" or "scr" files, and
completely ignore and delete "vbs" ones. That's how most viruses spread
nowadays, which is why Microsoft choose to "hide" these types of
attachments. These virus ladden e-mails generally come from a friends
computer, as it get's your address from there and sends itself. It looks
like your friend has sent it, so take care with them!!

Also, you could ask the sender to put the file in a ZIP archive, OE won't
block them.
