I've gotten a ton of those warnings in the past, and it turns out that
they're not true. From what I know from the past, when we got one of
those
things at the Academy, they said it couldn't happen. You *can* get a
virus
from opening a *document*, but I don't think it's possible by opening an
email. Of course you can't be sure with anything, but most of those
warnings are just rumors from the rumor mills...
