So: In case it was a spoofed From address, with a malware attachment, I would scan it from my Desktop. I have shortcuts to my "protection applications" on the Desktop. Quicker access than in the e-mail. I have never received an attachment from either Amazon.com, Amazon.uk, or Amazon.de--have accounts at all three places. So a mail from them with an attachment would feel more suspect to me than one without. David--this is getting a little OT.
