Not trying to frighten, just trying to caution.
I think we all know that headers can be forged by a virus.
I would probably try creating a simple html page for it and open
the page with your browser.

Don't be afraid of living ~the alternative is too final.

Now you're trying to frighten me :-o.     It is supposed to be a
shockwave
file, but even though I have downloaded shockwave player
8something it
refuses to play.   (and yes my anti-virus is up-to-date and the
sender is
known to me)

I can only think it might be that it won't work with IE 5.0?
Should I
update IE - or are there more hazards with the update?
