Maybe it'd get me fired, but I utterly refuse to open attachments if
they are not described to me in the body.  Someone sends me an empty
message body, it hits the bin.

Didn't take people that many times to email me something like that on
the stupid Lotus Notes setup I used to have to use before they got the
point.  If they wanted me to read their message, they sent the message
in the actual email, and told me what the attachments were and what they
were for.

It still pains me to think of Lotus Notes.
