Yes. I'm seeing these in my private and work email accounts sneaking 
in, along with the the usual dumb varients. Some of the varients are 
just pathetically sad in the basic spelling, syntax, and grammer 
departments, and it would be funny if it wasn't all so serious, as the 
point is to, or course, run the attachment. I don't know if 
the 'passwords' are even relevant, I've never run one. ;)

Who else thinks that email, as we know it today, is all but doomed for 
serious business use?
