Details

I just received a multipart mail message containing a virus. One of the parts
looked like this:

   Content-Type: text/html;
    	 charset="iso-8859-1"
   Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
   
   <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff>
   <iframe src=3Dcid:EA4DMGBP9p height=3D0 width=3D0>
   </iframe></BODY></HTML>

The next one had the following headers:
   Content-Type: audio/x-wav;
   	 name="images.DOC.pif"
   Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
   Content-ID: <EA4DMGBP9p>

When I clicked on the mail, Mozilla automatically opened a "Save As..." dialog
asking where to save the file!
