If you use Outlook, turn off the preview pane. Don't give out (except to trusted people) or publish your email address - use a Hotmail account for that. And if you get a message from someone you trust with an odd attachment, check the text. If it's fishy, SHIFT+DEL the message.
Protecting yourself from that crap isn't hard, just use common sense.

The only part of that I would change is "If you"- Change to the word, "Don't"
