It's not just attachments from people you don't know. In fact, it's often (more often?) from people you DO know, since many of these things attach to a person's outgoing mail addresses. And it's responsible people, too -- I recently got a virus attachment sent from a local county official I regularly communicate with. But the contents of the message didn't sound like her, so I called and found out it wasn't from her. The sad truth is that now you have to doubt EVERY attachment. Don't open ANYTHING (except .gif or .jpg files, or Adobe files, or maybe .txt or .doc; don't think they've found a way to send a virus in any of those yet, have they?) until you have checked personally with the sender by phone or return email that it's something they intended to send, not something sent from their mailing list without their knowledge.
