I have to agree with Timothy here. I've got prompts for scripts set, but even so, didn't open the attachment because although, like you I couldn't at first see the extension, the Icon depicting the file type wasn't one I recognised. To make sure I could see the filename in full I attempted to save the file to disk. When the file save dialogue window popped up, *then* it was possible to see the full .txt.shs extension. Although I didn't know what it was at that point, my suspicions were doing overtime, so I just deleted it without doing anything more.

No offense to all of those who clicked it, but keeping your system virus free isn't merely a responsiblity that should be laid on software companies. I agree Microsoft has some holes in Outlook, but with smart handling of attachments, disabling auto-running of scripts, and other simple jobs - your system will stay virus free.
Well, even the best efforts to protect yourself can be blocked by a bad OS: I have my Win 98 machine set to display file extensions (the default is to NOT display registered file types). Yet this file type (.shs) is hidden anyway, showing the file in Explorer as a simply a .txt file.
