Savvy users have nothing to fear.


Actually, it affects those users who are ignorant enough not to
recognize a hoax.


How can one be SURE it's a hoax if one is unable to see the contents

Get something like MailWasher and you can preview the e-mail on server
and then make the decision whether to down load it or not.

I ran through Snopes and they say HOAX.
