I also heard something similar a few weeks back. It would have the name "invitation" in the address and not to open it under any circustances.

To late I just opened that e-mail. My computer is on fire as I type. My sisters last name is Hogmanay and I thought it was from her. My speakers are now on fire so I might not finish this post.I've heard about cyber terrorist I thought they sent e-mails with a naked picture of themselves flashing you. I sure learned a good lesson never open e-mail from your sister.lalalalalalalalalalalalala

Thank you for the warning, but I delete all E mail from unknown people without ever reading them. Thats by far the safest way to keep intruders out..!!

Thanks,
But...
You can't get a virus from opening an email, only opening any attachments, so don't panic too much.
