Be cautious opening emails

Hello,

Just a word of warning. I received an email yesterday that appeared to be from a fellow TDPRI member with the following subject line "some questions". Because I hadn't had contact with this member before I checked the TDPRI profile section and verified the email address, it checked out so I opened the email and it was blank. I have virus protection so I'm not worried. When checking my email this morning I had an "undeliverable message failure" in my inbox, the thing is I had never emailed the intended recipient. So be very carefull in regard openning emails.

The messages are sent back because the mail system program detected the virus. Read the message, they often say why it could not be delivered. I just had the klez b@mm virus, but I got rid of it through a fix program.
