I am on the road and I got this email from my acting group and I am sharing it.

Anyone-using Internet mail such as Yahoo, Hotmail, AOL and so

It's never a bad idea to practice safe interneting, and opening attachments from strangers is always a bad idea. For what it's worth, though, this particular warning is a chain letter that's been circulating for years.

Snopes, for instance, actually calls it a hoax. Wikipedia has a little more detail on it, and Symantec outright recommends ignoring the warning e-mail if you get it.

But still: don't go opening attachments from strangers.
