That's what I thought. At least I thought that you can only execute it
by opening it from an attachment. Just getting the file itself seems to
happen without an attachment. I know enough to immediately deal with
any attachment that has that well known name. Problem is, I never saw
it, nor do I receive many attachments. I just did a search, and there
it was stuck in a directory that I owuld not expect since I hadn't
accessed it for quite some time. I don't know much about this stuff,
but I am glad I didn't spread it around.
