If you would recognise the email as "suspicious", and you read it under 
linux, then I would think the easiest (and safest) thing is just to 
delete the email.

Would you be saving an attachment called "file.scr" or whatever (there 
are quite a lot of different filenames being used) then moving it onto a 
windows box?

Or am I being too simplistic? I've had many instances of this virus come 
in over the last week. They have all looked "suspicious" to me so have 
just deleted them (then I get the autoresponder emails telling me that 
I've sent them a virus, grrrr!)
