.txt file viruses?

Just wondering whether it is possible for a .txt file to have a virus? The reason I ask is I was at my parents this weekend on my old com, and found two text files I needed, so I emailed them to my hotmail account as attachments with the idea being I would just download them onto my laptop when I get back home. Now when I try to download them it says an unkown virus has been found... bit annoying as I'm going to have to wait until next weekend to get them again.

/edit: Hotmail now says there are no viruses in them, so I have them now, Hurrah! Strange all the same tho...
