I received what looks for all the world like a legitimate e-mail from E-Bay.
It says that my account has been "suspended" due to suspicious attempts to
log on from a foreign IP address.
Then is has a link which I am to follow to reinstate my account.
I don't even have an account with E-Bay.
Is there a danger that I've compromised my pc by even opening this e-mail?

Thank you very much for these most useful and informative links.
I'm learning to trust my "instincts," thanks to a lot of help from this
newsgroup.
