That is absolutely incorrect as Martian & ngdawg clearly pointed out. And that makes me pissed as A LOT of people follow your thinkin'. Opening attachments is NOT the only way to contract a virus. Believe it or not there was a exploit in the picture file type of WMF [Windows Meta file] that will surreptitiously download crap onto your computer w/o any form of notification or prompt. There are different methods other than attachments by embedding in emails.

As a general rule of thumb: NEVER OPEN THAT CRAP! Even if you have attachments set to automatically not show b/c some pics hotlink therefore do not have attachments in the 1st place. The classic saying fits this situation: Curiousity killed the cat - the "pc" in this case.

Example 1 & 2

Educate yourselves, please! The ignorance is getting annoying. I'm not crying wolf.
