the dead giveaway is the extension..
if it is "wormfile.txt.jpg" or the like, dump it fast..! :-)
and i too have received some from this list and they DO appear as a legit
e-mail, and many on other accounts..
i just dump them all..
they are so "SECRET" that they go right into the "burn before reading"
classification.. :-)

Cordially, :-)
