I have received a bunch of these lately.. they usually , but not always have a *.gif attached. I suspect that is "the sleeper" either as a test to see if they can get thru, OR it contains something malicious in it.
I usually check them with a mail program in a text console, like Pine: looking carfully at the headers I usually can learn if it is bona fide or not. Also, spammassassin report helps, even if it was not clasisfied as spam. Some graphic mail agents, like balsa, that is configured not to follow external links in html code, are prety safe - although some holes have been reported in some image viewvers, hopefully solved by now. - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFDJCVqtTMYHG2NR9URAvRpAKCWSb3Tw5yyQUrJIg2bps3BbrR/hACdGSSm Llp4C3rWdFZul9//By4U7FU= =Wo0U -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
