I'm not sure if I opened this one or not. If it reported itself as being
from
the list, I probably did. (But not any attachments.) Every now & again,

I open an email that contains nothing whatsoever below the subject /
address
header. It may have been a mailing goof, or maybe not. There was one
like
this here recently. I leave JavaScript off as a default, and there
doesn't seem
to be much these things can do against OS/2. Klex and its variants I
have
tangled with before. Nevertheless, just as a precaution, I think I'll
run some
scans.
