I've noticed too.

That Steven Allison sure gets around. Yesterday he was working
for the FBI; today he's with the CIA--Office of Public Affairs, that
is.

Just for grins I looked at the "question list" zip file attached to
the message. Funny thing, it contains a Windows exe file. Too
bad I don't use WIndows. Guess I won't be able to answer his
questions.

I've also gotten a bunch of "mail delivery failed" types of
messages. They have a zip attached purporting to be the
message body. Now why would that attachment be so big? 54.2
KB--ZIPPED! I don't remember sending anybody a message that
big. Coincidentally, 54.2 is exactly the same size as that
"question list" attachment. Hmmm.

Why do so many Windows users continue to fall for these things?
Never mind. I think I see the problem.
