The ones I saw were not opening the mail itself (since MailScanner should have disarmed the tags) but things started getting funny the moment the people clicked on the link...

True. But if the objectcode etc. tags are disarmed then nothing should happen _automatically_. Still: Bad thing most anti-vir packages do not react to this since it seems to be a german problem only...
