Hi I suggest that you don't open the email. Delete it. That could be
infected by Mydoom worm -

If you will open the mail, your AV should detect it but do not take the
risk. Delete it.

Hi, I need to report to yahoo.com an email I got from
mailer-daemon@yahoo.com because (I have not opened it) I
am not sure if such a "mailer-daemon@yahoo.com" excists.
I did not send any mail that day prior to receiving the
M.Daemon thing. On the subject is "failure delivery".
Anyway, yahoo wants me to send them:
1- original message (un-edited) & subject line
2-Complete headers
3-Complete message body
HOW am I to forward this without having first opened it.
There is no option in yahoo that I know of to forward an
email before one has opened it up first.
Well I wrote them asking them this and they just repeated
that they need the original message body.
I dont want to open this unless I can scan it first with
AVG, or unless Yahoo has already done that. BUT if they
did scann first, they didnt tell me. This things is
bugging me. I could really use your help. thanks
