Actually, I saved it to a text file without opening it and only looked at the text file. I know about what kind of crap can be in spam. Just as bad as the viruses are html spam messages that have a 1 pixel image just so opening it calls back to their server and lets them confirm your email address is valid so they can sell it to other spamers.

Good for you! I do this too. Anyone that doesn’t realize this trick should pay attention to Grig’s tip here for checking unknown mail.

I also will save a questionable email to text to inspect it and even though I know a bit about html, java perl, etc. there are lots that I can't see what they do - not even an ad ... so why are they sent? Not even a reference to a jpg ...
One other mystery - I always check the header before even saving the file to text but when I close the Vew/Options it asks if I want to save changes to the file - why is that Mr. Gates? ;-)
