Yeah, that's the one I got, McGrath. I routinely delete messages from people I don't know - especially if they contain attachments. Such was also the case with this message. So, my question was not whether what was in the attachment was genuine, (because I never read it) it was whether the email, itself was genuine. I believe I have gotten the answer. As I suspected, someone I don't know has far too much time on his/her hands.

Thanks for the responses, folks.
