Dear Peter (and others!)

if you do not click on the attachment, then you are alright. The worm
is in the attachment itself. The worst thing about it is that the
attachment's name LOOKS LIKE A URL. But if it is not clicked, it
cannot be activated.

I hope this hasn't ruined everyone else's day like it has mine...
Apologies again if it has.
John
