If you see anything that matches the following, delete it:

From: (spoofed email sender) - to spoof (v): to fool. In this context,
it means the message may appear to come from someone you know. It
probably didn't.

Subject: any of the following...
            Error
            Status
            Server Report
            Mail Transaction Failed
            Mail Delivery System

            hi

Body: any of the following...
            The message cannot be represented in 7-bit ascii encoding
and has been sent as a binary attachment
            The message contains Unicode characters and has been sent as
a binary attachment
            Mail transaction failed. Partial message is available
Attachment: any of the following, but can be random...
            doc.bat
            document.zip
            message.zip
            readme.zip
            text.pif
            hello.cmd
            body.scr
            test.htm.pif
            data.txt.exe
            file.scr

The attachment icon will make it look like a text file. Don't open it.

If in doubt, chuck it out!=20
