Members, After scanning the .eml file (with Norton Virus Scan) that came attached to the original message, I opened the attachment. This particular variation of "A Card For You" is a hoax. However, I would not reccommend opening an .eml attachment unless you trust the sender implicitly and/or check the file with a current virus scan program.
This is what Norton says about .eml attachments: Note: .EML files are used by other E-mail clients as well. Note: .EML files with "funny" names in multiple folders implies the Nimda worm. OE removes access to attachments using this file extension. However, using forward on the tool bar in OE the attachment shows as an envelope that if clicked opens the attachment (use caution if you do this, it could be a worm). Others have reported that importing the message into Outlook from Outlook Express works to make the attachment files visible. Note: This file type can become infected and should be carefully scanned if someone sends you a file with this extension.
