I'd like to have seen someone answer you, but it looks like no one is
familiar with your problem. (you posted on the 25th, and it's the
28th now). I have never heard of getting a virus or worm from not
opening an email - I have heard though just viewing a web page can do
this. (embedded in the HTML code ???) I wonder if an HTML email
could do the same thing... ?
