Sounds suspiciously like a virus to me... :rolleyes:

You could run a mail check, using ole, then check the file attachment. And open it with it's default program...

There are quite a few threads about mail programs, so I suggest you search as it is rather complicated code to just "whip up" ... :rolleyes:
