Well, I can't since I use OS X, Solaris, or Linux. But if I was using Windows, no. That doesn't mean
plenty of others won't. This is the second version of this e-mail that I have seen, and, yes, I
received this one. I used to not get any spam in the account I use for Usenet but now I get at least
20 a day. One of these days I'll start obsfucating my reply address.

Yes I got it and traced the sender and hence the abuse address to which an email and complaint was
sent. The address was then added to blocked sender list and due to my home network security the
attachement was "nuked" as it entered my mail box.
Simon...........all fun and games.

You underestimate MY stupidity, for one.
It's probably from someone you elbowed off the trail during a race 🙂

I would hope that you, with your English degree would even suspect something with a subject line
