A good policy here if you don't delete on site, or you think there is a chance
the file is real, send an e-mail to the sender and ask if they really sent the
file.
A virus such as Klez attaches random sender addresses to the files it sends,
which means you may recognize the sender, but they had nothing to do with
sending you that file. It also makes it hard to track down the infected
computer to have the virus removed.
