The zip attachment that came with each email stated that a browser with Java was needed!

Attached was .zip file containing tracking.exe. I didn't open it Has got to be one of the worst pieces of spam I have ever received.

Yes, I opened the zip attachment after I grabbed it from the WLM EML folder. I didn't do anything within the email itself. There was an HTM file inside. That is what they wanted Java for. I looked at the HTM source for a bit, then got rid of it all. I didn't save the HTM code for proper analysis. Next time. :)
