That
may not be true under some restricted circumstances. If you are using MS
Outlook and are using MS Word as your email editor and have not set MS Word to
provide maximum protection against Word macro viruses, I believe you may be at
risk opening messages that contain macro viruses. If you fall into this
class, you probably ought to check some of the anti-virus web sites to ascertain
your exposure.
Best

As I understand, there is no problem in opening
the email message---
as long as you do not open any attachments.
Please correct me if this is wrong.
Thanks, Jerry

Just
an additional note:
If I don't recognize the sender of an email, I
delete the email without opening it. Re the latest virus: the title
"photos from my party" put me off, so I didn't open it. So far, this
kind of "personal filtering" has worked for me.
