I received a couple of emails today with a blank subject line and the body of the email is the raw text for an email. This is a failed attempt to send malware. The creator has not correctly crafted the faked email and thus it appears as text and as a result is unlikely to cause anyone any problems unless you try to reconstruct the message and I doubt if people would be bothered to do that.
The email does show that Virgin Blue users were the target of the malware attack.
You should delete this type of email. Don't trust any email which comes out of the blue from any major organisation. Users of large companies are constantly the target or malware and scam. A moment of loss of concentration could result in an infected computer, identity theft, or you end up being scammed in some way. It truly amazes me how every day we are attacked by complete strangers many times a day. Before the internet we were unlucky to be approached on the rare occasion. Some might call this progress!
