I got this email, too. It was addressed to root so I opened the
attachment as root. Right after opening it, a shell script error
flashed on my terminal, indicating that something was running on
my machine. I was also duped into replying to this email.
Unfortunately, I have accidentally deleted that trojan email. :-(
